13A-205

STEP 13. Check for short circuit to ground and harness
damage between cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen sensor
(front) connector B-37 (terminal No. 4) and PCM connector
B-22 (terminal No. 92).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 14.
NO : Repair it. Then go to Step 15.

STEP 14. Check the cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen sensor
(front).
(1) Disconnect the cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen sensor (front)

connector B-37 and connect test harness special tool
MB991316 to the connector on the cylinder 1, 4 heated
oxygen sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature

reaches 80

°C (176°F) or higher.

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

speed of 4,500 r/min.

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

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

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

1, 4 heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6

− 1.0 volt

CAUTION

• Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires;

incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen
sensor (front).

• Be careful the heater is broken when voltage of beyond

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

°

C (752

°

F) or more] is not reached although the heated

oxygen sensor (front) is normal, the output voltage would be
possibly low although the rich air/fuel ratio. Therefore, if the
output voltage is low, use a jumper wire to connect the ter-
minal No. 1 (red clip) and the terminal No. 3 (blue clip) of
the heated oxygen sensor (front) with the positive terminal
and the negative terminal of 8 volts power supply respec-
tively, then check again.

Q: Is the measured voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 15.
NO : Replace the cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen sensor

(front). Then go to Step 15.

.

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

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO : The inspection is complete.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the PCM (ter-
minal No. 92) from the output terminal (terminal
No. 4) of the cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen sensor
(front).

• Terminal No. 2 of the cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen

sensor (front) is grounded with PCM (terminal
No. 69).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The cylinder 1, 4 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 cylinder 1, 4 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 cylinder 1, 4 heated oxy-
gen sensor (front). In addition, the PCM also
checks for an open circuit in the cylinder 1, 4
heated oxygen sensor (front) output line.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Cylinder 1, 4 heated oxygen sensor (front) output

voltage stays low when air/fuel ratio is forced to
be rich. The above procedure is repeated when
oxygen sensor is inactive.
