DTC P2A00: A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Circuit Range/Performance Problem
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 RPM without load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
- Transmission in 3rd
- Drive the vehicle between 25-55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for 5 minutes.
- Drive at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (88-120 km/h) for 10 minutes, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 4 seconds.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2A00 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate FAILED?
YES -Go to step 6.
NO -If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 3 and recheck.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see A/F SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see ECM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 RPM without load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
- Transmission in 3rd
- Drive the vehicle between 25-55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for 5 minutes.
- Drive at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (88-120 km/h) for 10 minutes, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 4 seconds.
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P2A00 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM, then go to step 1.
NO -Go to step 14.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2A00 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 13, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 11.
