Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Lexus IS 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Techstream only:

Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function can help to determine whether the Air fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor, Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.

The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation using Techstream.

Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the tester on.
Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds.
On Techstream, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.
Perform the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation with the engine in an idling condition (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
Monitor the output voltages of the A/F and HO2 sensors (AFS Voltage B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2 or AFS Voltage B2 S1 and O2S B2 S2) displayed on the tester.

HINT:

The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5 % or increases the injection volume by 25 %.

Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases in the fuel injection volume.

Tester Display (Sensor)	Injection Volume	Status	Voltage
AFS Voltage B1 S1 or AFS Voltage B2 S1 (A/F)	+25 %	Rich	Less than 3.1 V
AFS Voltage B1 S1 or AFS Voltage B2 S1 (A/F)	-12.5 %	Lean	More than 3.4 V
O2S B1 S2 or O2S B2 S2 (HO2)	+25 %	Rich	More than 0.55 V
O2S B1 S2 or O2S B2 S2 (HO2)	-12.5 %	Lean	Less than 0.4 V

NOTE:

The Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

Following the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the A/F and HO2 sensors.
To display the graph, enter the following menus: Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor / A/F Control System / AFS Voltage B1 S1 or AFS Voltage B2 S1 and O2S B1 S2 or O2S B2 S2. Then press the graph button on the Data List view.

HINT:

DTC P2A00 or P2A03 may also be set, when the air-fuel ratio is stuck rich or lean.
A low A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
A high A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.
Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
