DTCs P2237, P2238, P2239, P2252 and P2253 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 1 air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
DTCs P2240, P2241, P2242, P2255 and P2256 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 2 air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
These DTCs are output when there is an open or short in the air fuel ratio sensor circuit, or if air fuel ratio sensor output drops.
To detect these problems, the voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor is monitored when turning the engine switch on (IG), and the admittance (admittance is an electrical term that indicates the ease of flow of current) is checked while driving. If the voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor is between 0.6 V and 4.5 V, it is considered normal. If the voltage is outside of the specified range, or the admittance is below the standard value, the ECM will determine that there is a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor. If the same malfunction is detected in the next driving cycle, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.
The air fuel ratio sensor varies its output voltage in proportion to the air-fuel ratio. If the air fuel ratio sensor impedance (alternating current resistance) or output voltage deviates greatly from the standard range, the ECM determines that there is an open or short in the air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [AFS Voltage B1S1 and AFS Voltage B2S1] (Click here).
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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.
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
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.
PROCEDURE
