DIAGNOSIS


Required Special Tools:
  • MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

    • MB991824: V.C.I.
    • MB991827: USB Cable
    • MB991910: Main Harness A
  • MB991658: Test Harness
  • MB992110: Power Plant ECU Check Harness

STEP 1. Check harness connector C-44 at heated oxygen sensor (front) and harness connector D-40 at heated oxygen sensor (rear) for damage.


Q. Are the harness connectors in good condition?

Go to Step 2.
Repair or replace them. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 12.

STEP 2. Check the heated oxygen sensor (front).


(1)Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (front) connector C-44 and connect test harness special tool MB991658 to the connector on the heated oxygen sensor (front) side.
(2)Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature reaches 80°C (176°F) or higher.
(3)Rev the engine for 5 minutes or more with the engine speed of 2,500 r/min.

(4)Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No. 3 and terminal No. 4.
(5)While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.
(6)Standard value: 0.6 - 1.0 V
caution
  • Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen sensor.
  • Be careful the heater can be damaged if a voltage beyond 8 volts is applied to the heated oxygen sensor heater.
note If the temperature of sensing area does not reach the high temperature [of approximately 400°C (752°F) or more] even though the heated oxygen sensor is normal, the output voltage would be possibly low in spite of the rich air/ fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output voltage is low, use a jumper wire to connect the terminal No. 1 and the terminal No. 2 of the heated oxygen sensor with the positive terminal and the negative terminal of 8 volts power supply respectively, then check again.

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

Go to Step 3.

Replace the heated oxygen sensor (front). Then go to Step 12.

STEP 3. Check the heated oxygen sensor (rear).


(1)Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (rear) connector D-40 and connect test harness special tool MB991658 to the connector on the heated oxygen sensor (rear) side.
(2)Warm up the engine until engine coolant temperature reaches 80°C (176°F) or higher.
(3)Drive at 50 km/h (31mph) or more for 10 minutes.

(4)Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No. 3 and terminal No. 4.
(5)Measure the output voltage of heated oxygen sensor under the following driving.

  • Transaxle: 2nd speed
  • Drive with wide open throttle
  • Engine: 3,500 r/min or more
(6)Standard value: 0.6 - 1.0 V
note If the temperature of sensing area does not reach the high temperature [of approximately 400°C (752°F) or more] even though the heated oxygen sensor is normal, the output voltage would be possibly low in spite of the rich air-fuel ratio.
note When the vehicle is driven with high loads, the temperature of the sensing area of the heated oxygen sensor is sufficiently high. Thus, it is not necessary to apply the voltage to the heater.

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

Go to Step 4.

Replace the heated oxygen sensor (rear). Then go to Step 12.

STEP 4. Check harness connector B-108 at ECM for damage.


Q. Is the harness connector in good condition?

Go to Step 5.
Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Then go to Step 12.

STEP 5. Measure the sensor offset voltage at ECM connector B-108 by using power plant ECU check harness special tool MB992110.



(1)Disconnect all ECM connectors. Connect the power plant ECU check harness special tool MB992110 between the separated connectors.
(2)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3)Measure the voltage between terminal No. 39 and ground.

  • Voltage should be between 0.4 and 0.6 volt.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is the measured voltage between 0.4 and 0.6 volt?

Go to Step 8.

Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Check for short circuit to power supply between heated oxygen sensor (front) connector C-44 (terminal No. 4) and ECM connector B-108 (terminal No. 39).
