    4. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0172 or P0175 detected? 

      Is it difficult to start engine? 

    Without CONSULT-II

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Turn ignition switch "OFF".
    3. Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector, and restart and run engine for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
    4. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
    5. Make sure DTC P0102 is displayed.
    6. Erase the DTC memory. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION  " .
    7. Make sure DTC P0000 is displayed.
    8. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0172 or P0175 detected? 

      Is it difficult to start engine? 

      Yes or No 

    1. Yes: Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0172, P0175. Refer to DTC P0172, P0175 FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION  .
    2. No: GO TO 4.
  4. CHECK HO2S 1 CONNECTOR FOR WATER 
    1. Turn ignition switch "OFF".
    2. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor 1 harness connector.
    3. Check connectors for water.

      Water should not exist. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 5.
    2. NG: Repair or replace harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 1 HEATER 

    Check resistance between HO2S1 terminals as follows.

    CAUTION:
    • Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
    • Before installing new oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: (With CONSULT-II) GO TO 6.
    2. OK: (Without CONSULT-II) GO TO  7 .
    3. NG: Replace malfunctioning heated oxygen sensor 1.
  6. CHECK HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 1 

    With CONSULT-II

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Select "MANU TRIG" and adjust "TRIGGER POINT" to 100% in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Select "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" and "HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2)".
    4. Hold engine speed at 2,000 RPM under no load during the following steps.
    5. Touch "RECORD" on CONSULT-II screen.

    6. Check the following.
    • "HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2)" in "DATA MONITOR" mode changes from "RICH" to "LEAN" to "RICH" 5 times in 10 seconds. 5 times (cycles) are counted as shown below.
      Fig 6: Checking HO2S1 MNTR (B1) (B2)

    • "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" voltage goes above 0.6V at least once.
    • "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" voltage goes below 0.3V at least once.
    • "HO2S1 (B1)/(B2)" voltage never exceeds 1.0V.

    • The voltage fluctuates between 0 to 0.3V and 0.6 to 1.0V more than 5 times within 10 seconds.
    • The maximum voltage is over 0.6V at least one time.
    • The minimum voltage is below 0.3V at least one time.
    • The voltage never exceeds 1.0V.

      1 time: 0 - 0.3V -> 0.6 - 1.0V -> 0 - 0.3V

      2 times: 0 - 0.3V -> 0.6 - 1.0V -> 0 - 0.3V -> 0.6 - 1.0V -> 0 - 0.3V
