1UR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P014C-P014F,P015A-P015D: A/F Sensor Slow Response - Rich to Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1
P015D - A/F Sensor Delayed Response - Lean to Rich Bank 2 Sensor 1

DESCRIPTION

HINT
- Refer to DTC P2195 P2195.
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located near the engine assembly.





*: Calculated by ECM based on the A/F sensor output

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

After the engine is warm, the ECM carries out air-fuel ratio feedback control and maintains the air-fuel ratio at the stoichiometric level. In addition, after all the preconditions have been met, active air-fuel ratio control is carried out for approx. 10 seconds, and during active air-fuel ratio control, the ECM measures the response of the A/F sensor by increasing or decreasing the injection quantity by a specific amount based on the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio learned during normal air-fuel control. The ECM determines whether there is an A/ F sensor malfunction at the mid-point of active air-fuel ratio control.

If the A/F sensor's response ability is reduced, DTC P014C, P014D, P014E and P014F are output.

If the time it takes the A/F sensor output to change is delayed, DTC P015A, P015B, P015C and P015D are output.

5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / O2 Sensor / Details.

7. Check that RES RATE B1S1 and RES RATE B2S1 are Incomplete.

8. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].

9. Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 47 and 62 mph (75 and 100 km/h) for 10 minutes [B].

10. Check the monitor result values on the Techstream by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Monitor / O2 Sensor / Details / RES RATE B1S1 and B2S1.

11. If the values indicated on the Techstream do not change, perform Readiness Monitor Drive Pattern for the air fuel ratio sensor and heated oxygen sensor Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

12. Note the value of Monitor Result.

13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].

14. Read the pending DTCs.

16. Input the DTC: P014C, P014D, P014E, P014F, P015A, P015B, P015C or P015D.

17. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

18. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P2195 P2195.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function provided in the Active Test. The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor function can help to determine whether the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor, Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.

The following instructions describe how to conduct the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation using the Techstream.

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and turn the Techstream on.
(c) Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
(d) On the Techstream, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor.
(e) Perform the Active Test operation with the engine idling (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
(f) Monitor the output voltages of the A/F and HO2 sensors (AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2 or AFS Voltage B2S1 and O2S B2S2) displayed on the Techstream.

HINT
- The Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5% or increases the injection volume by 25%.
- Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.





NOTICE:
The Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.





- Following the Control the Injection Volume for A/F sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs of both the A/F and HO2 sensors.

- To display the graph, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor / A/F Control System / AFS Voltage B1S1 and O2S B1S2 or AFS Voltage B2S1 and O2S B2S2.

HINT
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- A low A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
- A high A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
- Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
