DESCRIPTION

Tech Tips


  • For more information on the air fuel ratio sensor and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), refer to the following procedures Click here.

  • If P2237, P2238 and/or P2239 is present, refer to the DTC table for DPF system Click here.

  • These DTCs are recorded when the air fuel ratio sensor has a malfunction, although the title is the oxygen sensor.

The air fuel ratio sensor has the characteristic of providing output voltage which is proportional to the air-fuel ratio. The air fuel ratio sensor output voltage* is used by the ECM to control the air-fuel ratio.

The air fuel ratio sensor is located after the DPF catalytic converter. This sensor has been developed based on the structure and technology of a sensor that is being used for gasoline engines. The cover portion of the sensor has been changed for use in the diesel engine with DPF in order to eliminate the influence of the sensor temperature and particulate matter (PM).

In order to reduce both PM, the ECM adjusts the air-fuel ratio to slightly rich (but it is lean compared with the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio) based on signals from the air fuel ratio sensor. When the ECM performs PM forced regeneration by adding fuel using the exhaust fuel addition injector, the air-fuel ratio is also properly adjusted using the sensor.

*: The voltage value changes inside the ECM only.

Tech Tips

The ECM provides a pulse width modulated control circuit to adjust current through the heater. The air fuel ratio sensor heater circuit uses a relay on the +B side of the circuit.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The air fuel ratio sensor outputs a voltage in proportion to the air-fuel ratio. If impedance (alternating current resistance) or voltage output of the sensor deviates greatly from the standard range, the ECM interprets this as an open or short malfunction of the air fuel ratio sensor circuit.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.

  • After replacing the fuel supply pump assembly, the ECM needs initialization Click here.

  • After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the air fuel ratio sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C131-3 (AF2+) - C92-2 (AF2+) Always Below 1 Ω
      C131-4 (AF2-) - C92-1 (AF2-) Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C131-3 (AF2+) or C92-2 (AF2+) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      C131-4 (AF2-) or C92-1 (AF2-) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the air fuel ratio sensor connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.
