  3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E2, F32
    • IPDM E/R connector E119
    • 15A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse

      Repair or replace harness or connectors.

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

      Refer to Wiring Diagram .

        A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal
      Bank 1 1 35
      2 56
      Bank 2 1 16
      2 75

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Check harness continuity between the following terminals and ground.

      Refer to Wiring Diagram .

      Bank 1 Bank 2
      A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal
      1 35 1 16
      2 56 2 75

      Continuity should not exist. 

    5. Also check harness for short to power.

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 5.

    NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".

    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO 6.

    NG: Repair or replace.

  6. REPLACE A/F SENSOR 1 

    Replace malfunctioning A/F sensor 1.

    CAUTION:
    • Discard any A/F sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
    • Before installing new A/F sensor, clean exhaust system threads using Heated Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.
