Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection M95. Refer to Ground Inspection in "CIRCUIT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  2. RETIGHTEN A/F SENSOR 1

    Loosen and retighten the A/F sensor 1.

    Tightening torque: 50 N-m (5.1 kg-m, 37 ft-lb) 

    GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAK
    1. Start engine and run it at idle.
    2. Listen for an exhaust gas leak before three way catalyst 1.

    Is exhaust gas leak detected? 

    YES: Repair or replace.

    NO: GO TO 4.

  4. CHECK FOR INTAKE AIR LEAK

    Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

    Is intake air leak detected? 

    YES: Repair or replace.

    NO: GO TO 5.

  5. CLEAR THE MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE
    1. Clear the mixture ratio self-learning value. Refer to "MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE CLEAR : SPECIAL REPAIR REQUIREMENT ".
    2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

    Is the 1st trip DTC P0171, P172, P0174 or P0175 detected? Is it difficult to start engine? 

    YES: Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171, P0174 or P0172, P0175. Refer to "DTC LOGIC " or "DTC LOGIC ".

    NO: GO TO 6.

  6. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ground.

    YES: GO TO 10.

    NO: GO TO  13.

  10. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR

    Check both mass air flow sensor (bank 1 and bank 2).

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 11.

    NO: Replace malfunctioning mass air flow sensor.

  11. CHECK PCV VALVE

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 12.

    NO: Repair or replace PCV valve.

  12. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
