CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- Performing this confirmation pattern will activate the air fuel ratio sensor response monitor.

- Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester on.
- Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC / Clear.
- Clear DTCs.
- Start the engine and warm it up. (Proceed to "A")
- Drive the vehicle at a constant speed of between 64 km/h and 120 km/h (40 mph and 75 mph) for 3 minutes or more. (Proceed to "B")
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Repeat steps Procedure "A" and "B" above again.
- Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
- Check if any DTCs (any pending DTCs) are set.
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P2195 (See page Нажмите здесь).INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- Intelligent tester only:
- Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function can help to determine whether the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor, Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.
- The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation using the intelligent tester.
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Start the engine and turn the tester on.
- Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
- On the tester, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor.
- Perform the Active Test operation with the engine in an idling condition (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume.)
- Monitor the output voltages of the A/F and HO2 sensors (AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2) displayed on the tester.
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.
- Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.
Tester Display (Sensor) | Injection Volume | Status | Voltage |
AFS B1 S1 (A/F) | +25% | Rich | Less than 3.0 V |
AFS B1 S1 (A/F) | -12.5% | Lean | More than 3.35 V |
O2S B1 S2 (HO2) | +25% | Rich | More than 0.55 V |
O2S B1 S2 (HO2) | -12.5% | Lean | Less than 0.4 V |
- ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ:
- The air fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.
Case | A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Output Voltage | HO2 Sensor (Sensor 2) Output Voltage | Main Suspected Trouble Area |

- Following the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the A/F and HO2 sensors.
- To display the graph, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor / A/F Control System / AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2.
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- DTC P2A00 may be set when the air fuel ratio is stuck rich or lean.
- A low air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
- A high air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2A00) |
Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read DTCs.
- Result:
Result Proceed to P2A00 A P2A00 and other DTCs B
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- If any DTCs relating to the A/F sensor (DTCs for the A/F sensor heater or A/F sensor admittance) are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
