DESCRIPTION
- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- For more information on the A/F sensor and TOYOTA D-CAT*, refer to the following procedures (see page RAV4_ACA30 RM000000XSN006X.html).
- These DTCs are related to the A/F sensor, although the titles say oxygen sensor.
- *: Diesel Clean Advanced Technology.
The A/F sensor is located after the Diesel Particulate-NOx Reduction (DPNR) catalytic converter. This sensor has been developed based on the structure and technology of the A/F sensor that is used for gasoline engine. The cover for the sensor electrode has been modified to suit its application in a diesel engine. This change allows the sensor to function effectively in this TOYOTA D-CAT type diesel engine, and it also avoids problems with sensor temperature and particulate matter (PM).
In order to reduce both PM and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the ECM adjusts the air-fuel ratio to a mixture that is slightly richer than that which would otherwise be used (note that this mixture is still leaner than the stoichiometric air fuel ratio). The ECM bases these adjustments on signals that it receives from the A/F sensor.
When the ECM performs DPNR catalyst regeneration (cleaning) by adding fuel using the exhaust fuel addition injector, the A/F sensor feedback is used to ensure that an appropriate air fuel ratio is maintained.
*1: This voltage change occurs only inside the computer. It is not possible to measure this voltage at the sensor. The intelligent tester can be used to monitor this voltage.

- УКАЗАНИЕ:
- The ECM provides a pulse width modulated control circuit to adjust current through the heater. The A/F sensor heater circuit uses a relay on the B+ side of the circuit.

DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0031 | A/F sensor heater current is 0.8 A or less when the heater operates (1 trip detection logic) |

P0032 | When either condition below is met:

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The inner surface of the A/F sensor element is exposed to outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element is exposed to exhaust gases. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an integrated heating element. The zirconia element generates a small voltage when there is a large difference in the oxygen concentrations of the exhaust and the outside air. The platinum coating amplifies the voltage generation. When heated, the sensor becomes very efficient. If the temperature of the exhaust is low, the sensor will not generate useful voltage signals without supplemental heating. The ECM regulates the supplemental heating by using a duty-cycle approach to regulate the average current in the heater element. If the heater current is out of the normal range, the sensor's output signals will be inaccurate and the ECM cannot regulate the air-fuel ratio properly. When the heater current is out of the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction and sets a DTC.WIRING DIAGRAM
