Inspection Procedure

HINT: 

It is possible that the malfunctioning area can be found using the Active Test Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation. The Active Test can determine if the heated oxygen sensor or other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning or not.

The injection volume can be switched to -12.5% (decrease) or +25% (increase) by the Active Test.

The Active Test procedure enables a technician to check and graph the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensors.

Standard

The heated oxygen sensor reacts in accordance with the increase and decrease of injection volume:

+25% → Rich output: More than 0.55 V

-12.5% → Lean output: Less than 0.4 V

NOTE:

The heated oxygen sensor (sensor 1) output has a few seconds of delay and the heated oxygen sensor (sensor 2) output has a maximum of 20 seconds of delay.

If the vehicle is short on fuel, the air-fuel ratio becomes lean and the DTCs will be recorded.
