SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM performs ON/OFF control of the rear heated oxygen sensor heaters corresponding to the engine speed.




OPERATION




CONSULT REFERENCE VALUE IN DATA MONITOR MODE
Specification data are reference values.




ECM TERMINALS AND REFERENCE VALUE
Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and (128) (ECCS ground).




ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS LOGIC

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

NOTE: If "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.

TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is between 10.5V and 16V.




With Consult
1) Turn ignition switch "ON" and select "DATA MONITOR" mode with consult
2) Start engine and run it for at 'least 6 seconds at idle speed.

OR

With Generic Scan Tool
1) Start engine and run it for at least 6 seconds at idle speed.
2) Select "MODE 3" with GST

OR

Without Scan Tools
1) Start engine and run it for at least 6 seconds in idle condition.
2) Turn ignition switch "OFF", wait at least 5 seconds and then turn "ON".
3) Perform "Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results)" with ECM.
When using GST, "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" should be performed twice as much as when using CONSULT or ECM (Diagnostic Test Mode II) because GST cannot display MODE 7 (1st trip DTC) concerning this diagnosis. Therefore, using CONSULT or ECM (Diagnostic Test Mode II) is recommended.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE







COMPONENT INSPECTION
Rear heated oxygen sensor heater
Check the following.
1. Check resistance between terminals (4) and (1).

Resistance: 2.3 - 4.3 Ohms at 25°C (77°F)

2. Check continuity.
If NG, replace the front heated oxygen sensor.

CAUTION: Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
