• Detect any of the following condition:
Diagnostic support note
• This is an intermittent monitor (A/F sensor, HO2S).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
|
POSSIBLE CAUSE
|
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Short to ground in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AD
• Short to ground in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 2Z
• Open circuit in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AD
• Open circuit in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 2Z
• A/F sensor malfunction
• PCM malfunction
