   DTC Description	OBD Status
   P2A00 A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Circuit Range/Performance Problem

   Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) .

   NO 

   If the HDS indicates PASSED, 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 . If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-5 and recheck.
