*: Calculated by the ECM based on the air fuel ratio sensor output.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

After the engine has been warmed up, the ECM carries out air fuel ratio feedback control and maintains the air fuel ratio at the stoichiometric level. In addition, after all the preconditions have been met, active air fuel ratio control is carried out for approximately 15 to 20 seconds, and during active air fuel ratio control, the ECM measures the response of the air fuel ratio sensor by increasing or decreasing the injection volume by a specific quantity based on the stoichiometric air fuel ratio learned during normal air fuel control. The ECM determines whether there is an air fuel ratio sensor malfunction at the mid-point of active air fuel ratio control.

If the air fuel ratio sensor's response ability is reduced, DTC P014C and P014D are stored.

If the time it takes the air fuel ratio sensor output to change is delayed, DTC P015A and P015B are stored.

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  3. Turn the GTS on.

  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  5. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  6. Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  7. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

  8. Start the engine and warm it up (until the engine coolant temperature is 73°C (163°F) or higher) [A].

  9. With the engine running, drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 75 and 100 km/h (47 and 62 mph) for 10 minutes [B].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

    Tip:

    If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.

  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [C].

  11. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tip:
    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

  13. Input the DTC: P014C, P014D, P015A or P015B.

  14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display

    Description

    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal

    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tip:
    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

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

Tip:
  • A low air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.

  • A high air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.

  • 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 be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
