    • Tightening torque: 50 N.m (5.1 kg-m, 37 ft-lb) 
    • GO TO  3.
  3. CLEAR THE SELF-LEARNING DATA. 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Select "SELF-LEARNING CONT" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Clear the self-learning control coefficient by touching "CLEAR".
    4. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0172 or P0175 detected? 

      Is it difficult to start engine?

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    3. Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
    4. Restart engine and let it idle for at least 5 seconds.
    5. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
    6. Make sure DTC P0102 is displayed.
    7. Erase the DTC memory. Refer to HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION .
    8. Make sure DTC P0000 is displayed.
    9. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0172 or P0175 detected? 

      Is it difficult to start engine?

    3. Check harness connector for water.
      • Water should not exit. 

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  5.
    • NG: Repair or replace harness connector.
  5. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Check voltage between A/F sensor 1 terminal 3 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.
      • Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  7.
    • NG: GO TO  6.

  6. 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
      • Repair or replace harness or connectors.
  7. 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 .
      Fig 7: ECM Terminal Specification Chart (1 Of 2)

      • Continuity should not exist. 
    5. Also check harness for short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  8.
    • NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  8. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 HEATER 

    Refer to Component Inspection .

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  9.
    • NG: GO TO  10.
  9. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Perform TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .

    OK or NG 

    • OK: GO TO  10.
    • NG: Repair or replace.
  10. 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.
