(See page FI±24)
(b) Warm up the engine until it reaches normal operating
temperature.
(a) (M/T)
Drive for 5 minutes or more between 80 km/h (50
mph) and 100 km/h in 4th or 5th gear.
(A/T)
Drive for 5 minutes or more between 80 km/h (50
mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph) in ºDº range.
(d) Following the conditions in step (e), press fully on the
accelerator pedal for 2 seconds or more.
HINT: Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph), or diagnostic code
will be cancelled.
(e) Stop the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(f) Carry out steps (b), (c) and (d) again to test acceleration.
If code No. 27 reappears again, check the sub±oxygen sensor
circuit. If the circuit is normal, replace the suboxygen sen-
sor. 3. (2VZ±FE)
INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF OXYGEN
SENSOR
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
terminal +B and HT.
Resistance (Cold): 5.1 6.3 at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.

(b) Connect terminals IDL and E1 (3S±FE (w/o ECT)) or E2
(others) of the wiring connector.
(e) Gradually raise the engine rpm and check that there is fluctua-
tion between the fuel cut and fuel return points.
HINT:
wThe vehicle should be stopped.
wMeasure with the A/C OFF.
Fuel cut rpm: 3S±FE 1,500 ± 2,100 rpm
2VZ±FE 1,800 rpm
