OK or NG 

OK: GO TO  2.

NG: Repair or replace ground connections.

Loosen and retighten the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1.

Tightening torque: 40 - 60 N-m (4.1 - 6.1 kg-m, 30 - 44 ft-lb) 

: GO TO  3.

OK or NG 

OK: GO TO  4.

NG: Repair or replace.

Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

OK or NG 

OK: GO TO  5.

NG: Repair or replace.

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" or "START".
4. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

   Is the 1st trip DTC P0171 or P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine?

4. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
5. Make sure DTC P0102 is displayed.
6. Erase the DTC memory. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ".
7. Make sure DTC P0000 is displayed.
8. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

   Is the 1st trip DTC P0171 or P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine? 

Yes or No 

Yes: Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171 or P0172. Refer to "DTC P0171 FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION " or "DTC P0172 FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION ".

No: GO TO  6.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.

Check the following.

• Harness connectors M19, E108
• Harness connectors E10, F48
• Fuse block (J/B) connector M1
• 15A fuse
• Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse

  : Repair or replace harness or connectors.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
   ECM TERMINAL REFERENCE
   
   

   A/F sensor 1 terminal	ECM terminal
   1	16
   5	35
   6	56
   2	75

   Continuity should exist. 

4. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 16, 35, 56, 75 or A/F sensor 1 terminals 1, 2, 5, 6 and ground. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

   Continuity should not exist. 

5. Also check harness for short to power.
