  13. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
  14. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector C (49P).
  15. Check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 3 and ECM/PCM connector terminal C9.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES:  Go to step  16.

    NO:  Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (C9) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step  26.

  20. Check for continuity between A/F sensor relay 4P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES:  Go to step  32.

    NO:  Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A22) and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step  26.
