STEP 10. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor
(front).
(1) Disconnect the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

connector A-07 and connect test harness special tool,
MD998464, to the connector on the right bank heated
oxygen sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant 80

°C (176°F) or

higher.

(3) Perform a tracing for 5 minutes or more with the engine

speed of 4,500 r/min.

(4) Connect a digital volt meter between terminal No. 2 (black

clip) and terminal No. 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the right

bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6

− 1.0 volt

CAUTION

• Be very careful when connecting the jumper wire;

incorrect connection can damage the oxygen sensor.

• Be careful the heater is broken when voltage of beyond

8 volts is applied to the oxygen sensor heater.
NOTE: If the sufficiently high temperature (of approximate
400

°

C or more) is not reached although the oxygen sensor

is normal, the output voltage would be possibly low
although the rich air-fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output volt-
age is low, use a jumper wire to connect the terminal No.1
(red clip of special tool) and the terminal No. 3 (blue clip of
special tool) of the oxygen sensor with a (+) terminal and (-)
terminal of 8 volts power supply respectively, then check
again.

Q: Is the voltage at the standard value?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO : Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front).

Then go to Step 11.

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0130 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO : The procedure is complete.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the PCM (ter-
minal No. 72) from the output terminal (terminal
No. 4) of the right bank heated oxygen sensor
(front).

• Terminal No. 2 of the right bank heated oxygen

sensor (front) is grounded with PCM (terminal
No. 57).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The right bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

detects the concentration of oxygen in the
exhaust gas; it converts those data to voltage,
and inputs the resulting signals to the PCM.

• When the right bank heated oxygen sensor

(front) begins to deteriorate, the heated oxygen
sensor signal response becomes poor.

• The PCM forcibly varies the air/fuel mixture to

make it leaner and richer, and checks the
response speed of the right bank heated oxygen
sensor (front). In addition, the PCM also checks
for an open circuit in the right bank heated oxy-
gen sensor (front) output line.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output volt-

age stays low when air/fuel ratio is forced to be
rich. The above procedure is repeated when oxy-
gen sensor is inactive.
