MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs are stored when there is an open or short in the A/F sensor circuit, or if A/F sensor output drops.
To detect these problems, the voltage of the A/F sensor is monitored when turning the engine switch on (IG), and the admittance (admittance is an electrical term that indicates the ease of flow of current) is checked while driving. If the voltage of the A/F sensor is between 0.6 V and 4.5 V, it is considered normal. If the voltage is outside of the specified range, or the admittance is less than the standard value, the ECM will determine that there is a malfunction in the A/F sensor. If the same malfunction is detected in the next driving cycle, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.
The Air Fuel ratio (A/F) sensor varies its output voltage in proportion to the air-fuel ratio. If the A/F sensor impedance (alternating current resistance) or output voltage deviates greatly from the standard range, the ECM determines that there is an open or short in the A/F sensor circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- 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.
- HINT:
- Standard:
Display Item
(Sensor)Injection Volume Status Voltage AFS B1 S1
(A/F)+25% Rich Below 3.0 -12.5% Lean Higher than 3.35 O2S B1 S2
(HO2)+25% Rich Higher than 0.55 -12.5% Lean Below 0.4 AFS B2 S1
(A/F)+25% Rich Below 3.0 -12.5% Lean Higher than 3.35 O2S B2 S2
(HO2)+25% Rich Higher than 0.55 -12.5% Lean Below 0.4
- NOTICE:
- The A/F sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the HO2 sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.
