in fail-safe mode. Fail-safe mode continues until the ignition switch is turned off.



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

DTC DETECTION CONDITION AND TROUBLE AREA REFERENCE CHART

HINT:



Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes No. 1 cylinder.



Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include 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.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM uses information from the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor to regulate the air-fuel ratio and keep it close
to the stoichiometric level. This maximizes the ability of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) to purify
the exhaust gases.

The A/F sensor detects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and transmits the information to the ECM. The inner
surface of the sensor element is exposed to the outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element is exposed to
the exhaust gas. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an integrated heating
element.

The zirconia element generates a small voltage when there is a large difference in the oxygen concentrations
between the exhaust gas and outside air. The platinum coating amplifies this voltage generation.

The A/F sensor is more efficient when heated. When the exhaust gas temperature is low, the sensor cannot
generate useful voltage signals without supplementary heating. The ECM regulates the supplementary heating
using a duty-cycle approach to adjust the average current in the sensor heater element. If the heater current is
outside the normal range, the signal transmitted by the A/F sensor becomes inaccurate. As a result, the ECM is
unable to regulate the air-fuel ratio properly.

When the current in the A/F sensor heater is outside the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a
malfunction in the sensor heater and sets a DTC.

Example:

The ECM stores DTC P0032 or P0052 when the current limiter port is failed. Conversely, when the heater
current is less than 0.8 A, DTC P0031 or P0051 is stored.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. 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.

1. INSPECT AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR (HEATER RESISTANCE)

a. Disconnect the D33 or D34 A/F sensor connector.
