DTC P2245, P2249

DTC P2245  : Rear A/F Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit Low Voltage DTC P2249  : Front A/F Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit Low Voltage

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015) .
• Information marked with an asterisk (*) applies to the front bank (Bank 2).

DTC (PGM-FI)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   - 3. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

   DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC	Freeze Frame
   P2245 Rear A/F Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit Low Voltage
   P2249 Front A/F Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit Low Voltage

   Is DTC P2245 and/or P2249 * indicated?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the PGM-FI subrelay, and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

2. Shorted wire check (VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) * line):

   - 1.Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   - 2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

   - 3. Disconnect the following connectors.

   PCM connector C (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)

   A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector

   - 4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
   Test circuit	VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) *
   Test point 1	PCM connector C (51P) No. 26 (RED)
   	PCM connector C (51P) No. 29 (YEL) *
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) * wire between the PCM (C26 (C29) *) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1).

   NO 

   The VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) * wire is OK. Go to step 3.

3. PCM internal circuit check

   -1. Reconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector C (51P) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the A/T System (2014 2015), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems, or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (2016 2017 2018 2019 2020), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems(With Auto Idle Stop System) (2016)

   - 2. Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

   - 3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle ON mode
   	A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector: disconnected
   Test circuit	VCENTB1 (VCENTB2) *
   Test point 1	Rear A/F sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) 6P connector No. 4 (RED)
   	Front A/F sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) 6P connector No. 4 (YEL) *
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there about 0.2 V or less?

   YES 

   Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM - Refer to: PCM Removal and Installation (2014 2015), or PCM Removal and Installation (2016) .

   NO 

   The PCM internal circuit is OK. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) .
