DESCRIPTION

The heated oxygen sensor is a planar type. Compared to the conventional type, the sensor and heater portions are narrower. The heat of the heater is conducted to the zirconia element through the alumina, accelerating sensor activation.
To obtain a high purification rate of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the exhaust gas, a Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) is used. For the most efficient use of the three-way catalytic converter, the air-fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
The heated oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. This is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and provide the ECM with feedback control the air-fuel ratio.
When the air-fuel ratio becomes lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas increases. And the heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the lean condition (small electromotive force: Less than 0.45 V).
When the air-fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is reduced. And the heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the rich condition (large electromotive force: More than 0.45 V). The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the heated oxygen sensor whether the air-fuel ratio is rich or lean and controls the injection time accordingly. If the malfunction of the heated oxygen sensor causes an output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM becomes unable to perform the accurate air-fuel ratio control.
The heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater in order to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

  2. (b) Using the tester, change the ECM from normal mode to check mode (Toyota Fortuner RM000000PDL017X.html).
  3. (c) Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessory switches OFF.
  4. (d) Deactivate the inspection mode and drive the vehicle at 70 to 120 km/h (44 to 70 mph) for 5 to 10 minutes.
  5. (e) Read DTCs.
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, no malfunction will be detected.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

  1. (a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
HINT:
It is possible the malfunctioning area can be found using the Active Test "Control the injection volume for A/F sensor" operation. The Active Test can determine if the heated oxygen sensor or other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning or not.
The injection volume can be switched to -12.5% (decrease) or +25% (increase) by the Active Test.
The Active Test procedure enables a technician to check and graph the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensors.
  1. (b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
  1. (c) Warm up the engine with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
  1. (d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the injection volume for A/F sensor.
  1. (e) Perform the Active Test while the engine is idling.

  3. Gas leak from exhaust system (air-fuel ratio extremely rich or lean)
The following "Control the injection volume for A/F sensor" procedure enables the technician to check and graph the output voltage of both A/F sensor and heated oxygen sensor.
HINT:
  1. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.
  2. A low A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air-fuel mixture. Check the conditions that would cause the engine to run with a rich air-fuel mixture.
  3. A high A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air-fuel mixture. Check the conditions that would cause the engine to run with a lean air-fuel mixture.
  4. Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located far from the engine assembly.
