Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Isuzu VehiCROSS, 2000 Isuzu Trooper, 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, 2000 Isuzu Amigo, and 2000 Honda Passport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. See BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article. Read and record FREEZE FRAME and/or FAIL RECORDS data for each DTC set. Go to next step.
- If any DTC other than P1133 or P1134 sets, diagnose affected DTC before proceeding. If no other DTC sets, start engine and allow it to idle. Operate vehicle within conditions required to set DTC. Using scan tool, read SPECIFIC DTC. If scan tool displays DTC P1153 FAILED THIS IGN, go to next step. If scan tool does not display DTC P1153 FAILED THIS IGN, check for an intermittent problem. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS .
- If DTC P1133 or P1134 is also set, go to step 11. If DTC is not set, go to next step.
- Check exhaust system for leaks. If exhaust leak is found, repair as necessary and go to step 2. If no exhaust leak is found, go to next step.
- Visually inspect HO2S-1 for secure installation or corrosion on terminals. Check terminal tension at HO2S-1 and PCM. Check for damaged wiring. If a problem is found, repair as necessary. Retest system. If no problem is found, go to next step.
- Disconnect HO2S-1 connector. Connect a DVOM to PCM side of HO2S-1 connector high signal circuit and ground, and low signal circuit and ground. Turn ignition on and read DVOM at each connection. If reading is 3-4 volts, go to step 9. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off and check for damage to PCM pins or terminals. If a problem was found repair as necessary. Retest system. If no problem was found, go to next step.
- Inspect signal circuit for a short to voltage, ground or an open. If problem was found repair as necessary. Retest system. If no problem was found, go to next step.
- With ignition off, disconnect PCM connector. Disconnect HO2S-1 and check for high and low signal circuits between PCM and HO2S-1 for shorting together. If a problem was found, repair as necessary. Retest system. If no problem was found, go to next step.
- Connect PCM and disconnect Bank 2 HO2S-1. Using scan tool, check HO2S-1 Bank-2 voltage. If reading is 425-475 millivolts, go to step 12. If voltage is not as specified, go to step 13.
- Check for fuel contamination, use of improper RTV sealant or engine oil and coolant consumption. Replace affected HO2S. Retest system.
- Replace HO2S 1. Retest system.
- Replace and reprogram PCM. See PROGRAMMING . Retest system.
