    OK or NG 

    OK: GO TO  4.

    NG: GO TO  3.

  3. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M70, F58
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M4
    • 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 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

    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 Oxygen Sensor Thread Cleaner tool J-43897-18 or J-43897-12 and approved anti-seize lubricant.
