  1. CHECK FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR. 

    Check the front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

    Has water entered the connector?

    Yes:  Completely remove any water inside.

    No:  Go to  2.

  2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR. 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
    3. Disconnect the connectors from front oxygen (A/F) sensor.
    4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (E158) No. 15 - (E24) No. 1:

      (E158) No. 27 - (E24) No. 4:

      (E158) No. 39 - (E24) No. 5:

    Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

    Yes:  Go to  3.

    No:  Repair the harness and connector.

    NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
    • Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
    • Poor contact of coupling connector
  3. CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT. 

    Check for poor contact of the front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

    Is there poor contact of front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector?

    Yes:  Repair the poor contact of front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

    No:  Replace the front oxygen (A/F) sensor. Refer to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (EXCEPT FOR STI)>FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR .
