MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-183

STEP 14. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor
(front).
(1) Disconnect the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front)

connector B-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 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 of special tool) and terminal No. 4 (white clip of
special tool).

(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 right bank heated
oxygen sensor (front).

• Be careful the heater is broken when voltage of beyond

8 volts is applied to the right bank heated oxygen sen-
sor (front) heater.
NOTE: If the sufficiently high temperature [of approximate
400

°

C(752

°

F) or more] is not reached although the right

bank 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 terminal No. 1 (red clip of special tool)
and the terminal No. 3 (blue clip of special tool) of the right
bank 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 voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 15.
NO : Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front).

Then go to Step 15.

STEP 15. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to

Diagnostic Function

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 −

Other Monitor

P.13A-4

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0132 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. 109) 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. 96).

.

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.
