Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection M95. Refer to Ground Inspection in CIRCUIT INSPECTION .

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  2.

      NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  2. RETIGHTEN AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR 1 

    Loosen and retighten the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1. Refer to DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY .

    GO TO  3.

  3. CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE 
    1. Start engine and run it at idle.
    2. Listen for an exhaust gas leakage before three way catalyst (manifold).

      Is exhaust gas leakage detected? 

      YES: Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

      NO: GO TO  4.

  4. CHECK FOR INTAKE AIR LEAKAGE 

    Listen for an intake air leakage after the mass air flow sensor.

    Is intake air leakage detected? 

    YES: Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

    NO: GO TO  5.

  5. CLEAR THE MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE 
    1. Clear the mixture ratio self-learning value. Refer to MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE CLEAR: SPECIAL REPAIR REQUIREMENT .
    2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0171, P172, P0174 or P0175 detected? Is it difficult to start engine? 

      YES: Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171, P0174 or P0172, P0175. Refer to DTC LOGIC or DTC LOGIC .

      NO: GO TO  6.

  6. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ground.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  8.

      NO: GO TO  7.

  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E10, F10
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E7
    • 15 A fuse (No. 46)
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse

      Repair or replace harness or connectors.

  8. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ECM harness connector.

    5. Also check harness for short to power.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  9.

      NO: Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  9. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 HEATER 

    Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  10.

    NO: GO TO  13.

  10. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR 

    Check both mass air flow sensor (bank 1) and mass air flow sensor (bank 2).

    Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  11.

    NO: Replace malfunctioning mass air flow sensor.

  11. CHECK PCV VALVE 

    Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  12.

    NO: Repair or replace PCV valve.

  12. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Perform INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .
