Confirmation Driving Pattern
- Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
- Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessories switched OFF until the engine coolant temperature becomes stable.
- Run the engine at 2,500 to 3,000 rpm for about 3 minutes.
- Confirming that HO2S band 1 sensor 1 (OXL1) and band 2 sensor 1 (OXR1) have waveforms that are around 0.5 V during feedback to the ECM. Then check the waveform of HO2S bank 1 sensor 2 (OXL2) and bank 2 sensor 2 (OXR2).
HINT:
The system is malfunctioning when the waveforms of HO2S OXL1 and OXR1 are similar to HO2S OXL2 an OXR2.
In some cases, a malfunction exists but the MIL does not illuminate.
