OK or NG 

OK: GO TO  2.

NG: Repair or replace ground connections.

Loosen and retighten the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.

Tightening torque: 40 - 60 N-m (4.1 - 6.1 kg-m, 30 - 44 ft-lb) 

>> GO TO  3.

1. Start engine and run it at idle.
2. Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

OK or NG 

OK: GO TO  4.

NG: Repair or replace.

With CONSULT-III 

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Select "SELF-LEARNING CONT" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Clear the self-learning control coefficient by touching "CLEAR".
4. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

   Is the 1st trip DTC P0171, P0172, P0174 or P0175 detected? 

   Is it difficult to start engine? 

Without CONSULT-III 

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
4. Restart engine and let it idle for at least 5 seconds.
5. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
