2GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P2195-P2198: Oxygen (A/F) Sensor Signal Stuck Lean (Bank 1 Sensor 1)


DESCRIPTION

HINT
- Although the DTC titles include oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor.
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the three-way catalytic converter and located near the engine assembly.

The air fuel ratio sensor generates voltage* that corresponds to the actual air fuel ratio. This sensor voltage is used to provide the ECM with feedback so that it can control the air fuel ratio. The ECM determines the deviation from the stoichiometric air fuel ratio level, and regulates the fuel injection time. If the air fuel ratio sensor malfunctions, the ECM is unable to control the air fuel ratio accurately.

The air fuel ratio sensor is the planar type and is integrated with the heater, which heats the solid electrolyte (zirconia element). This heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low), current flows into the heater to heat the sensor, in order to facilitate accurate oxygen concentration detection. In addition, the sensor and heater portions are narrower than the conventional type. The heat generated by the heater is conducted to the solid electrolyte through the alumina, therefore the sensor activation is accelerated.

A three-way catalytic converter is used in order to convert the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) into less harmful substances. To allow the three-way catalytic converter to function effectively, it is necessary to keep the air fuel ratio of the engine near the stoichiometric air fuel ratio.

*: Value changes inside the ECM. Since the air fuel ratio sensor is the current output element, a current is converted to a voltage inside the ECM. Any measurements taken at the air fuel ratio sensor or ECM connectors will show a constant voltage.









HINT
- DTCs P2195 and P2196 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 1 air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
- DTCs P2197 and P2198 indicate malfunctions related to the bank 2 air fuel ratio sensor circuit.
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes cylinder No. 1.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include cylinder No. 1.
- When any of these DTCs are set, check the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / A/F Control System / AFS Voltage B1S1 or AFS Voltage B2S1.
- Short-term fuel trim values can also be read using the Techstream.
- The ECM regulates the voltages at the A1A+, A2A+, A1A- and A2A- terminals of the ECM to a constant level. Therefore, the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage cannot be confirmed without using the Techstream.
- If an air fuel ratio sensor malfunction is detected, the ECM sets a DTC.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

* Sensor voltage detection monitor

* Under the air fuel ratio feedback control, if the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage indicates rich or lean for a certain period of time, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

* Example:

1. If the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output is less than 2.8 V (very rich condition) and heated oxygen sensor output voltage falls from 0.59 V or more to less than 0.21 V for 5 seconds, the ECM sets DTC P2196 or P2198. Alternatively, if the air fuel ratio sensor voltage output is more than 3.8 V (very lean condition) and heated oxygen sensor output voltage rise from less than 0.21 V to 0.59 V or more for 5 seconds, DTC P2195 or P2197 is set.

2. Sensor current detection monitor

3. A rich air fuel mixture causes a low air fuel ratio sensor current, and a lean air fuel mixture causes a high air fuel ratio sensor current. Therefore, the sensor output becomes low during acceleration, and it becomes high during deceleration with the throttle valve fully closed. The ECM monitors the air fuel ratio sensor current during fuel cut and detects any abnormal current values.

4. If the air fuel ratio sensor output is 3.6 mA or more for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the air fuel ratio sensor and sets DTC P2195 or P2197 (high-side stuck). If the air fuel ratio sensor output is 1.4 mA or less for more than 3 seconds of cumulative time, the ECM sets DTC P2196 or P2198 (low-side stuck).

12. Soon after performing step "D" above, release the accelerator pedal for at least 4 seconds without depressing the brake pedal in order to execute fuel-cut control (Step "E").

HINT
Fuel-cut is performed when the following conditions are met:

- Accelerator pedal is fully released.
- Engine speed is 2500 rpm or more (fuel injection returns at 1000 rpm).

13. Allow the vehicle to decelerate until the vehicle speed decreases to less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

14. Repeat steps "C" through "E" above at least 3 times in one driving cycle.

15. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

16. Input the DTC: P2195, P2196, P2197 or P2198.

17. Check the DTC judgment result (Step "F").





HINT
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform steps "B" through "F".

18. If the test result is UNKNOWN, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes / Pending.

19. Read Pending DTCs.

HINT
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

20. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

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

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 sensor, heated oxygen 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.

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Start the engine.

3. Turn the Techstream on.

4. Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.

5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor.

6. Perform the Active Test operation with the engine idling (press the RIGHT or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).

7. Monitor the output voltages of the air fuel ratio and heated oxygen 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 in the fuel injection volume.





NOTICE:
The air fuel ratio sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the heated oxygen 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 air fuel ratio and heated oxygen 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 or AFS Voltage B2S1 and O2S B1S2 or O2S B2S2.

HINT
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
- A low air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a rich air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
- A high air fuel ratio sensor voltage could be caused by a lean air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.

Standard:





HINT
- For more information, see the diagrams below.





- If the output voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor remains at approximately 3.3 V (see Malfunction Condition diagram) under any conditions, including those above, the air fuel ratio sensor may have an open circuit. (This will also happen if the air fuel ratio sensor heater has an open circuit.)
- If the output voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor remains at either approximately 3.8 V or more, or 2.8 V or less (see Malfunction Condition diagram) under any conditions, including those above, the air fuel ratio sensor may have a short circuit.
- The ECM stops fuel injection (fuel cut) during engine deceleration. This causes a lean condition and results in a momentary increase in the air fuel ratio sensor output voltage.
- The ECM must establish a closed throttle valve position learning value to perform fuel cut. If the battery terminal has been reconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 10 mph (16 km/h) to allow the ECM to learn the closed throttle valve position.
- When the vehicle is driven:
The output voltage of the air fuel ratio sensor may be below 2.8 V during fuel enrichment. For the vehicle, this translates to a sudden increase in speed with the accelerator pedal fully depressed when trying to overtake another vehicle. The air fuel ratio sensor is functioning normally.
- The air fuel ratio sensor is a current output element; therefore, the current is converted into a voltage inside the ECM. Measuring the voltage at the connectors of the air fuel ratio sensor or ECM will show a constant voltage result.
