Diagnostic Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda B4000, 2003 Mazda B3000, and 2003 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. Refer to POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION under EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - B2300, B3000, B4000 & TRIBUTE article. Check for vacuum leaks. If any problems are found, repair as necessary. After repair, 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 EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM 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 fused 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 4-pin harness connector related to DTC:

Connect fused jumper wire between appropriate HO2S SIG circuit and HO2S VPWR circuit at HO2S 4-pin harness connector. If voltage reading is 1.3 volts or more, go to next step. If voltage reading is less than 1.3 volts, an open or short circuit to ground is present in vehicle wiring harness or 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 4-pin harness connector and negative battery terminal. See Fig 1 . If resistance reading is less than 5 ohms, reconnect all components. Go to step  10 . If resistance reading is 5 ohms or more, check wiring for an open or short circuit to ground. See appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM under ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS. After repair, go to next step.
