20. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
21. Reconnect all connectors.
22. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
23. Start the engine, and let it idle without load (in Park or neutral) for at least 1 minute.
24. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0134 and/or P0154* indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the PGM-FI subrelay (LAF), and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, then go to step 23. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 25.

25. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0134 and/or P0154* in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?
