    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO 2.
    2. NG : Repair or replace ground connections.
  2. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.

    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check voltage between A/F sensor 1 terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO  4.
    2. NG : GO TO 3.

  3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E5, F14
    • IPDM E/R harness connector E119
    • 10A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse
    1. : 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 .

      TERMINALS CONTINUITY CHART

        A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal
      Bank 1 1 16
      2 75
      5 35
      6 56
      Bank 2 1 76
      2 77
      5 57
      6 58

      Continuity should exist. 

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

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      TERMINALS CONTINUITY CHART

      Bank 1 Bank 2
      A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal
      1 16 1 76
      2 75 2 77
      5 35 5 57
      6 56 6 58

      Continuity should not exist. 

    5. Also check harness for short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO 5.
    2. 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 

    1. OK : GO TO 6.
    2. NG : Repair or replace.
  6. REPLACE AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 

    Replace air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.

    CAUTION:
    • Discard any air fuel ratio (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 air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, clean exhaust system threads (using Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12) and approved anti-seize lubricant.
