DTC Troubleshooting: P2238 (2.0L Engine): Inspection

IP Shorted Wire Inspection 

NOTICE: 

Before disconnecting the PCM connector, jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

Test Procedure 

• Preparation
• • A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector: disconnected
  • PCM connector E (80P): disconnected

• Procedure
• • Perform the inspection according to the following table.
    NOTE: Refer to the Open/Shorted Wire Inspection Description for the method to inspect the shorted circuit below, then start to inspect according to circumstances.

			(Disconnected) PCM connector E (80P) - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (3.0L Engine) or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (2.0L Engine) female terminals
		IG Mode	Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.	Normal Conditions
	IP shorted to ground inspection	OFF		Not shorted

Results 

• If abnormal, there is a problem in the circuit.

A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• Install a known-good A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and attempt to reproduce the failure.

Results 

• If the failure is reproduced, there is a problem with other related components.
• If the symptom/DTC goes away, the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) must be faulty.

PCM Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• If the other inspection item (s) indicated a normal condition, then it is determined that the remaining PCM is the cause.

Results 

• There is a problem with the PCM.
