DTC P2A01

DTC P2A01  : Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) Circuit Range/Performance Problem

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. Enter the maintenance mode, then start the engine .

   -4. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

   -5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   HO2S S2	More than 1.51	V

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   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 secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 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. Determine possible failure area (secondary HO2S (Sensor 2), others)

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

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector

   -3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (male terminals) No. 1:
   Terminal B	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (male terminals) No. 2:

   -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   HO2S S2	More than 1.51	V

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Replace the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) .

3. Open wire check (SO2SG/SO2_SG line)

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

   -2. Remove the jumper wire from the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector.

   -3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

   Terminal A	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (male terminals) No. 1:
   Terminal B	Body ground

   -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   HO2S S2	More than 1.51	V

   Do the current condition(s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   The SO2SG/SO2_SG wire is OK. Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Repair an open in the SO2SG/SO2_SG wire between the PCM (A48) and the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).

4. Open wire check (SO2 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 connector.

   PCM connector A (50P)

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

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
   	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector No. 1: jumped to body ground
   Test point 1	PCM connector A (50P) No. 47
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

   YES 

   The SO2 wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM .

   NO 

   Repair an open in the SO2 wire between the PCM (A47) and the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).
