DTC P2245 (1.5 L Engine)

DTC P2245  : A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit Low Voltage

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information .

DTC (PGM-FI)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   -3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

   -4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

   DTC Description	Confirmed DTC	Pending DTC
   P2245 A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) VCENT Circuit Low Voltage

   Is DTC P2245 indicated?

   YES 

   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) and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot .

2. Shorted wire check (VCENT line)

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

   -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   -3. Disconnect the following connectors.

   PCM connector E (80P)

   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 E (80P): disconnected
   Test point 1	PCM connector E (80P) No. 74
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the VCENT wire between the PCM (E74) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1).

   NO 

   Go to step 3.

3. PCM internal circuit check

   -1. Reconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector E (80P)

   -2. Exit the SCS mode with the HDS.

   -3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

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

   Test condition	Engine running
   	A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 6P connector (female terminals) No. 4:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there about 0.2 V or less?

   YES 

   Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM .

   NO 

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