| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P2270 | O2 (A/F) Sensor Signal Stuck Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 2) |
| P2271 | O2 (A/F) Sensor Signal Stuck Rich (Bank 1 Sensor 2) |
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0037.
Tech Tips
Although the DTC title say O2 sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2).
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2270 | O2 (A/F) Sensor Signal Stuck Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 2) | While the fuel-cut operation is performed (during vehicle deceleration), the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) current is higher than 33.17 mA for 0.5 seconds or more (2 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| P2271 | O2 (A/F) Sensor Signal Stuck Rich (Bank 1 Sensor 2) | While the fuel-cut operation is performed (during vehicle deceleration), the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) current is below 8.71 mA for 0.5 seconds or more (2 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
Tech Tips
When any of these DTCs are stored, check the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) current output by entering the following menus on the GTS: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / AFS Current B1S2.
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 any abnormal current values.
If the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) output is higher than 33.17 mA for 0.5 seconds or more of cumulative time, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) and stores DTC P2270 (stuck on high side). If the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) output is below 8.71 mA for 0.5 seconds or more of cumulative time, the ECM stores DTC P2271 (stuck on low side).

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher with the shift lever in P [A].
Tech Tips
In order to keep the idle stable, turn off the A/C and all other electric loads and do not perform any shift operations.
Drive the vehicle at approximately 75 km/h (46 mph) for 10 minutes or more [B].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Tech Tips
Drive the vehicle while keeping the engine load as constant as possible.
With the shift lever in M position, drive the vehicle at 75 km/h (46 mph), and then decelerate the vehicle by releasing the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds or more to perform the fuel-cut [C].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Repeat step [C] 2 times or more in one driving cycle.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [D].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P2270 or P2271.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, drive the vehicle with the shift lever in M position, and then perform step [C] again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Tech Tips
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.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P2270 OR P2271)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Warm up the air fuel ratio sensors at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for 90 seconds.

Perform the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation with the engine idling.
Monitor the output values of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) and air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) (AFS Current B1S1 and AFS Current B1S2) displayed on the GTS.
Tech Tips
The Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 12.5%.
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.
| GTS Display (Sensor) | Injection Volume | Status | Current |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFS Current B1S1 (Air fuel ratio (sensor 1)) |
12.5% | Rich | Below -0.075 mA |
| -12.5% | Lean | More than 0.037 mA | |
| AFS Current B1S2 (Air fuel ratio (sensor 2)) |
12.5% | Rich | Below -0.86 mA |
| -12.5% | Lean | More than 0.33 mA |
| Result | |||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Lean: During the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor Active Test, the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) output current (AFS Current B1S1) is consistently more than 0.037 mA, and the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) output current (AFS Current B1S2) is consistently more than 0.33 mA.
Rich: During the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor Active Test, the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) output current (AFS Current B1S1) is consistently below -0.075 mA, and the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) output current (AFS Current B1S2) is consistently below -0.86 mA.
Lean/Rich: During the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor Active Test, the output current of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) or air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 2) alternate correctly.
