    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  5.
    • NG: GO TO 3.
  3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E5, F14
    • IPDM E/R connector E119
    • 10A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 and fuse
      • Repair or replace harness or connectors.
    • CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
      1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
      2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
      3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals. Refer to Fig 4 and WIRING DIAGRAM .

        • Continuity should not exist. 
      5. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

      OK or NG 

      • OK: GO TO 5.
      • NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
    • CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

      Perform TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

      OK or NG 

      • OK: GO TO 6.
      • NG: Repair or replace.
    • REPLACE AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 

      Replace air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.

      CAUTION:
      • Discard any air fuel ratio (A/F) 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 air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Heated Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.
