Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

HINT: 

Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function can help to determine whether the air fuel ratio sensor, heated oxygen sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.

The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation using the Techstream.

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Start the engine.
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 RPM for approximately 90 seconds.
  5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.
  6. Perform the Active Test operation with the engine idling (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
  7. Monitor the output voltages of the air fuel ratio and heated oxygen sensors (AFS Voltage B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2) displayed on the Techstream.

HINT: 

Techstream Display (Sensor) Injection Volume Status Voltage
AFS Voltage B1 S1
(Air fuel ratio)
+25% Rich Below 3.1 V
-12.5% Lean Higher than 3.4 V
O2S B1 S2
(Heated oxygen)
+25% Rich Higher than 0.55 V
-12.5% Lean Below 0.4 V
NOTE:

The air fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

  • Injector
  • Fuel pressure
  • Gas leak from exhaust system (Air fuel ratio extremely rich or lean)

HINT: 

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
