DTC P242B:00

Exhaust gas temperature sensor No.3: Correlation error

DETECTION CONDITION
•  With the following conditions met, the difference between the exhaust gas temperature sensor No.3 output value and the exhaust gas temperature sensor No.1 output value is 150 °C {302 °F} or more, or the difference between the exhaust gas temperature sensor No.3 output value and the exhaust gas temperature sensor No.2 output value is 150 °C {302 °F} or more for a continuous 0.128 s.
―  Before starting the engine, leave the vehicle with the engine turned off for 6 h or more.
―  Battery positive voltage: 10 V or more
―  Ignition is switched ON (engine off or on)
―  The following DTCs are not detected
•  ECT sensor: P0118:00, P0117:00
•  Exhaust gas temperature sensor No.2: P2032:00, P2033:00
•  Exhaust gas temperature sensor No.1: P0545:00, P0546:00
•  Malfunction in instrument cluster: P2610:00

Results

Action

1
RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
Note
•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
•  Record the snap shot data.
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR NO.3 CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Switch the ignition OFF.
•  Disconnect the exhaust gas temperature sensor No.3 connector.
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 9.
3
INSPECT EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR NO.3

•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 9.
7
INSPECT EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR NO.2
•  Inspect exhaust gas temperature sensor No.2.
•  Is exhaust gas temperature sensor No.2 normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace exhaust gas temperature sensor No.2, then go to Step 9.
8
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition, and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.
•  Is the connector normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the connector, then go to the next step.
9
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
•  Reconnect all the disconnected connectors.
•  Refer to the [MEMORY CLEARING PROCEDURE] and clear the DTC.
•  Leave the vehicle for 6 h or more.
