DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

13Ac-257

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the PCM (ter-
minal No. 116) from the output terminal (terminal
No. 4) of the left bank heated oxygen sensor
(rear).

• Terminal No. 2 of the left bank heated oxygen

sensor (rear) is grounded with PCM (terminal No.
96).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The output signal of the left bank heated oxygen

sensor (front) is compensated by the output sig-
nal of the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear).

• The PCM checks for an open circuit in the left

bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) output line.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the start-

ing sequence was completed.

Judgment Criteria

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) output

voltage has continued to be 1.2 volts or higher for
2 seconds.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are: )

• Short circuit in left bank heated oxygen sensor

(rear) output line.

• PCM failed.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Check connector C-15 at left bank heated oxygen
sensor (rear) and connector D-135 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 2. Check for short circuit to power supply between
left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) connector C-15
(terminal No. 4) and PCM connector D-135 (terminal No.
116).
NOTE: Check harness after checking intermediate connector
E-112. If intermediate connector E-112 is damaged, repair or
replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspec-
tion

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 3.

Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 3.
NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Perform the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to

GROUP 13A, Trouble Code Diagnosis

− OBD-II Drive Cycle

− Procedure 6 − Other Monitor

P.13Ab-2

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0158 set?

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