DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

The heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time between rich and lean than the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1. The oxygen storage capacity of the three way catalyst (manifold) causes the longer switching time. MALFUNCTION A; To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the voltage is unusually high during the various driving condition such as fuel-cut.

MALFUNCTION B; To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the minimum voltage of sensor is sufficiently low during the various driving condition such as fuel-cut.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
>>

GO TO 2.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3, 500 and 4, 000 RPM for at least 1 minute under no load.
4. Let engine idle for 2 minutes.
5. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?

YES>>

Refer to DTC Diagnosis Procedure .

NO>>

With CONSULT: GO TO 3.

NO>>

Without CONSULT: GO TO 5.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B
NOTE: For better results, perform "DTC WORK SUPPORT" at a temperature of 0 to 30 Deg. C (32 to 86 Deg. F).
1. Turn ignition switch ON and select "DATA MONITOR" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3, 500 and 4, 000 RPM for at least 1 minute under no load.
5. Let engine idle for 1 minute.
6. Make sure that "COOLANT TEMP/S" indication is more than 70 Deg. C (158 Deg. F). If not, warm up engine and go to next step when "COOLANT TEMP/S" indication reaches 70 Deg. C (158 Deg. F).
7. Open engine hood.
8. Select "HO2S2 (B1) P1146" of "HO2S2" in "DTC WORK SUPPORT" mode of "ENGINE" using CONSULT.
9. Follow the instruction of CONSULT.
  NOTE: It will take at most 10 minutes until "COMPLETED" is displayed.
10. Touch "SELF-DIAG RESULT".
Which is displayed on CONSULT

OK>>

INSPECTION END

NG>>

Refer to DTC Diagnosis Procedure .

CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED>>

GO TO 4.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B AGAIN
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and leave the vehicle in a cool place (soak the vehicle).
2. Perform DTC confirmation procedure again.
>>

GO TO 3.
PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK FOR MALFUNCTION B
Perform component function check. Refer to Component Function Check .

NOTE: Use component function check to check the overall function of the heated oxygen sensor 2 circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.

Is the inspection result normal?

NO>>

To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident .

NO>>

Confirmation after repair: INSPECTION END

YES>>

Proceed to DTC Diagnosis Procedure .
