Tip:

DTC P227118 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 1 sensor 2 air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
DTC P227318 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 2 sensor 2 air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
When any of these DTCs are stored, check the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) voltage output by entering the following menus on the GTS: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / A/F (O2) Sensor Current B1S2 or A/F (O2) Sensor Current B2S2.
Short-term fuel trim values can also be read using the GTS.
If an air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) malfunction is detected, the ECM will store a DTC.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

A rich air fuel mixture causes a low air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) current, and a lean air fuel mixture causes a high air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) current. Therefore, the sensor output becomes low during acceleration, and it becomes high during deceleration with the throttle valve fully closed. The ECM monitors the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) current during fuel-cut and detects abnormal current values.

If the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) output is less than 7.5 mA for 1 second or more of cumulative time, the ECM stores DTC P227118 or P227318 (stuck on low side).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

Click here

(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

Click here
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tip:

Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.

*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transaxle.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

The air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) has an output delay of a few seconds and the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.
If the sensor output value does not change (almost no reaction) while performing the Active Test, the sensor may be malfunctioning.

Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value is at least +10 kPa (1.45 psi) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed

Tip:

If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).
While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure is small, the EGR valve assembly may be malfunctioning.
Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure increases will be smaller than normal.
