Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

HINT:

Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function can help to determine whether the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor, Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.

The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation using Techstream.

  1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Put the engine in inspection mode (See INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE ).
  3. Turn the tester on.
  4. Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
  5. On the tester, select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor.
  6. Perform the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation with the engine idling (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
  7. Monitor the voltage outputs of the A/F and HO2 sensors (AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2) displayed on the tester.

    HINT:

    • The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.
    • The sensors react in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.

FUEL INJECTION VOLUME CHART

Tester Display (Sensor) Injection Volumes Status Voltages
AFS B1 S1 (A/F) +25% Rich Less than 3.0 V
-12.5% Lean More than 3.35 V
O2S B1 S2 (HO2) +25% Rich More than 0.5 V
-12.5% Lean Less than 0.4 V
NOTE: The A/F sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the HO2 sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

Following the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the A/F and HO2 sensors.

To display the graph, select the following menu items on the tester: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor / A/F Control System / AFS B1 S1 and O2S B1 S2 then press the graph button on the Data List view.

HINT:

  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2A00) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Code.
    5. Read the DTCs.

    If any DTCs relating to the A/F sensor (DTCs for the A/F sensor heater or A/F sensor admittance) are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

    B:  Go to DTC CHART 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT AIR-FUEL RATIO SENSOR (HEATER RESISTANCE)  (See INSPECTION PROCEDURE )
