CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
DESCRIPTION
A three-way catalytic converter is used in order to convert the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into less harmful substances. To allow the three-way catalytic converter to function effectively, it is necessary to keep the air fuel ratio of the engine near the stoichiometric air fuel ratio. For helping the ECM to deliver accurate air fuel ratio control, a heated oxygen sensor is used.
The heated oxygen sensor is located behind the three-way catalytic converter, and detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. Since the sensor is integrated with the heater that heats the sensing portion, it is possible to detect the oxygen concentration even when the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low).
When the air fuel ratio becomes lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas becomes rich. The heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM that the post-three-way catalytic converter air fuel ratio is lean (low voltage, i.e. less than 0.45 V).
Conversely, when the air fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric air fuel level, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas becomes lean. The heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM that the post-three-way catalytic converter air fuel ratio is rich (high voltage, i.e. more than 0.45 V). The heated oxygen sensor has the property of changing its output voltage drastically when the air fuel ratio is close to the stoichiometric level.
The ECM uses the supplementary information from the heated oxygen sensor to determine whether the air fuel ratio after the three-way catalytic converter is rich or lean, and adjusts the fuel injection time accordingly. Thus, if the heated oxygen sensor is working improperly due to internal malfunctions, the ECM is unable to compensate for deviations in the primary air fuel ratio control.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Active Air Fuel Ratio Control
The ECM usually performs air fuel ratio feedback control so that the air fuel ratio sensor output indicates a near stoichiometric air fuel level. This vehicle includes active air fuel ratio control in addition to regular air fuel ratio control. The ECM performs active air fuel ratio control to detect any deterioration in the three-way catalytic converter and heated oxygen sensor malfunctions (refer to the diagram below).
Active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 20 seconds while driving with a warm engine. During active air fuel ratio control, the air fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become lean or rich by the ECM. If the ECM detects a malfunction, a DTC is set.
Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTC P0136 and P0156)
While the ECM is performing active air fuel ratio control, the air fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become rich or lean. If the sensor is not functioning properly, the voltage output variation is small. For example, when the heated oxygen sensor voltage does not decrease to less than 0.21 V or does not increase to 0.59 V or more during active air fuel ratio control, the ECM determines that the sensor voltage output is abnormal and sets DTC P0136 or P0156.
Open or Short in Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit (DTC P0137 and P0157 or P0138 and P0158) (w/o Canister Pump Module)
During active air-fuel ratio control, the ECM calculates the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC)* of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) by forcibly regulating the air-fuel ratio to become rich or lean. If the heated oxygen sensor has an open or short, or the voltage output of the sensor decreases significantly, the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) is indicated as having an extraordinarily high value. Even if the ECM attempts to continue regulating the air-fuel ratio to become rich or lean, the heated oxygen sensor output does not change.
While performing active air-fuel ratio control, when the target air-fuel ratio is rich and the HO2 sensor voltage output is 0.21 V or less (lean), the ECM interprets this as an abnormally low sensor output voltage and stores DTC P0137 or P0157. When the target air-fuel ratio is lean and the voltage output is 0.59 V or more (rich) during active air-fuel ratio control, the ECM determines that the sensor voltage output is abnormally high and stores DTC P0138 or P0158.
*: The Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) has the capability to store oxygen. The Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) and the emissions purification capacity of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) are mutually related. The ECM determines whether the catalyst has deteriorated based on the calculated Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) value Click here.
Open in Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit (DTCs P0137 and P0157) (w/ Canister Pump Module)
During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM calculates the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC)* of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) by forcibly regulating the air fuel ratio to become rich or lean.
If the heated oxygen sensor has an open circuit, or the voltage output of the sensor noticeably decreases, the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OCS) is indicates an extraordinarily high value. Even if the ECM attempts to continue regulating the air-fuel ratio to become rich or lean, the heated oxygen sensor output does not change.
While performing active air fuel ratio control, when the target air fuel ratio is rich and the heated oxygen sensor voltage output is 0.21 V or less (lean), the ECM interprets this as an abnormally low sensor output voltage and stores DTC P0137 or P0157.
Tech Tips
*: The Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) has the capability to store oxygen. The Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC) and the emissions purification capacity of the Three-way Catalytic Converter (TWC) are mutually related.

High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTCs P0136 and P0156 or P0137 and P0157) (w/ Canister Pump Module)
During normal air fuel ratio feedback control, there are small variations in the exhaust gas oxygen concentration. In order to continuously monitor the slight variation of the heated oxygen sensor signal while the engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance deviates from the standard range.
*: The effective resistance in an alternating current electrical circuit.
Tech Tips
The impedance cannot be measured using an ohmmeter.
DTC P0136 or P0156 indicates the deterioration of the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM sets the DTCs by calculating the impedance of the sensor when the typical enabling conditions are satisfied (2 driving cycles).
DTC P0137 or P0157 indicates an open or short circuit in the heated oxygen sensor (2 driving cycles). The ECM sets the DTCs when the impedance of the sensor exceeds the threshold 15 kΩ.
Extremely High Output Voltage of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTCs P0138 and P0158) (w/ Canister Pump Module)
The ECM continuously monitors the heated oxygen sensor output voltage while the engine is running. DTC P0138 or P0158 is stored if the heated oxygen sensor voltage output is higher than 1.2 V for 10 seconds or more.
Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor During Fuel Cut (DTCs P0139 and P0159) (w/ Canister Pump Module)
The sensor output voltage drops to below 0.2 V (extremely lean status) immediately when the vehicle decelerates and fuel cut is operating. If the voltage does not drop to below 0.2 V for 6 seconds or more, the system determines that the sensor response has deteriorated, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor During Fuel Cut from Rich Condition (DTCs P013A and P013C) (w/ Canister Pump Module)
If the sensor output voltage does not drop from 0.35 to 0.2 V immediately when the vehicle decelerates and fuel cut is operating, the system illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

Tech Tips
A normal heated oxygen sensor voltage (O2S B1S2 or O2S B2S2) reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in fuel injection volumes. When the air fuel ratio sensor voltage remains at either less or more than 3.3 V despite the heated oxygen sensor indicating a normal reaction, the air fuel ratio sensor is malfunctioning.
