Diagnostic Procedure

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2) 
  • Perform the Freeze Frame PID Data Access Procedure.

    (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)

  • Is the DTC P2246:00 on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to the troubleshooting procedure for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2).
(See DTC TABLE .)
2 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED 
  • Have the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (A/F sensor, HO2S related) been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on the repair order, then go to the next step.
3 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT A/F SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the A/F sensor connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT A/F SENSOR REFERENCE VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY AT A/F SENSOR 
  • Verify that the A/F sensor connector is disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
  • Measure the voltage at the A/F sensor terminal 2C (part-side).
  • Is the voltage above 5.0 V  ?
Yes Replace the A/F sensor, then go to Step 9.
(See AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 9.
No Go to the next step.
7 INSPECT A/F SENSOR REFERENCE VOLTAGE CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY AT WIRING HARNESS 
  • Verify that the A/F sensor and PCM connecters are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
  • Measure the voltage at the A/F sensor terminal 2C (wiring harness-side).
  • Is there any voltage?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 9.
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT A/F SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Verify that the A/F sensor and PCM connecters are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • A/F sensor terminal 2C-PCM terminal 2Y
    • A/F sensor terminal 2A-PCM terminal 2O
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to the next step.
9 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.

    (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .)

  • Perform the KOEO or KOER self test or Drive Mode 03 (EGR System, A/F Sensor Heater, HO2S Heater, A/F Sensor, HO2S and TWC Repair Verification Drive Mode).

    (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST .)

    (See OBD-II DRIVE MODE .)

  • Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
10 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE .)
