Diagnostic Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda B4000, 2002 Mazda B3000, and 2002 Mazda B2300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If QUICK TEST was not performed, go to QUICK TEST  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If QUICK TEST was performed, go to next step.

  2. DTCs P1131 & P1151: Upstream HO2S(s) Not Switching

    Check air intake system for leaks and damage. Verify integrity of PCV system. Check for vacuum leaks. If any problems are found, repair as necessary. Go to step  21 . If no problems are found, go to next step.

  3. Perform KOER Self-Test

    Disconnect fuel vapor hose from intake manifold. Plug fitting at intake manifold. Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for 5 minutes, then return to idle. Perform KOER Self-Test. If DTC P1131 and/or P1151 are set, go to next step. If DTC P1131 and/or P1151 are not set, perform EVAP Leak Test to locate EVAP system leak. See FUEL EVAPORATION under EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - B2300, B3000, B4000 & TRIBUTE article.
    CAUTION: During next test step, when connecting a jumper wire, if a spark occurs (indicating a short circuit), remove jumper wire. Check for a short to ground. Also check heater fuse.

  4. HO2S Circuit Test (With Lean DTCs)

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect suspect HO2S related to DTC:

Jumper appropriate HO2S SIG circuit to HO2S VPWR circuit at HO2S vehicle harness connector. If voltage is 1.3 volts or more, go to next step. If voltage is less than 1.3 volts, an open or short to ground is present in vehicle wiring harness to PCM. Go to step  7 .

  5. Check Signal Return Circuit For Shorts & Opens

    Turn ignition off. Measure resistance of HO2S SIG RTN circuit between HO2S harness connector and battery negative terminal. See Fig 1 .

    Inspect HO2S harness for chafing, burned wiring or other damage. Repair as necessary. Disconnect suspect HO2S connector. Connect a DVOM between HO2S connector (component side) SIG circuit and SIG RTN circuit or GND circuit. See Fig 1 . Run engine at 2000 RPM for 3 minutes. Run KOER Self-Test and monitor HO2S voltage. Observe voltage. Turn ignition off. If voltage is more than 0.5 volts during test or at end of self-test, go to next step. If voltage is not more than 0.5 volts during test or at end of self-test, replace faulty HO2S. Go to step  21 .

  11. Monitor HO2S (PID) For Proper Switching

    Using scan tool, select Diagnostic Data Link. Select PCM. Select PID/Data Monitor and Record. Access O2S11 (Front Right) or O2S21 (Front Left) PID while wiggling, bending and shaking small sections of engine wiring harness from HO2S to PCM. Turn ignition off. If HO2S voltage stays high (more than 0.45 volt) or stays low (less then 0.45 volt), isolate cause of HO2S not switching. Repair as necessary. Go to step  21 . If HO2S voltage does not stay high (more than 0.45 volt) or stay low (less then 0.45 volt), go to next step.
    WARNING: Fuel system retains fuel pressure with engine not running. Use caution when working on fuel system.

  20. Test Drive While Monitoring HO2S PID For Proper Switching

    Using scan tool, access O2S11 (Front Right) or O2S21 (Front Left) PID. While observer monitors PID, test drive vehicle under different road conditions in an attempt to simulate original fault. If HO2S appears to properly switch, unable to duplicate fault at this time. Go to next step. If HO2S does not appear to properly switch, replace faulty HO2S. Go to next step.

  21. Verify Trouble Shooting Of DTCs Completed

    Reconnect all electrical connectors. Perform QUICK TEST  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If same DTC is present, replace faulty PCM. Repeat QUICK TEST  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If any other DTC is present, go to applicable procedure for other DTCs. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS  . If no DTCs are set, trouble shooting is complete.
