OPERATION
l The EGR temperature sensor functions to con-
vert the data regarding the temperature of the
EGR gas downstream from the EGR valve to
voltage, and to input that voltage (as signals) to
the engine control module.
lThe 5V power supply within the engine control
module is supplied, by way of the resistance
within the unit, to the EGR temperature sensor;
it passes through the EGR temperature sensor,
which is a type of resistor, and is grounded at the engine control module.
Note that the resistance of the EGR tempera-
ture sensor decreases when the EGR gas vol-
ume increases and the temperature of the EGR
gas increases.
l The EGR temperature sensor terminal voltage
becomes higher when the resistance of the EGR
temperature sensor increases, and becomes lower when the resistance decreases.
Consequently, the EGR temperature sensor
terminal voltage varies in accordance with the
temperature of the EGR gas, becoming lower when the temperature of the EGR gas
in-
creases.

OPERATION
l The heated oxygen sensor functions to detect
the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas;
it converts those data to voltage, and inputs the
resulting signals to the engine control module.
l If the air/fuel mixture ratio is richer than the
theoretical air/fuel mixture ratio (i.e., if the con-
centration of oxygen in the exhaust gas is
sparse), a voltage of approximately IV is output;
if the air/fuel mixture ratio in leaner than the
theoretical air/fuel mixture ratio (i.e., if the con-centration is dense), a voltage of approximately
ov is output.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
HINT 1:
The exhaust gas purification performance will wor-
sen if there is a malfunction of the heated oxygen
sensor.
Hint 2:
If the heated oxygen sensor output voltage deviates
from the standard value even though the results of
the checking of the heated oxygen sensor are nor-
mal, the cause is probably a malfunction of a com-
ponent related to mixture control.
l The engine control module, based upon those
signals, regulates the amount of fuel injection so
that the air/fuel mixture ratio becomes the
theoretical air/fuel mixture ratio.
lBattery power supply is applied, by way of the
multiport fuel injection relay, to the oxygen sen-
sor heater. As a result, the sensor element is
heated by the heater, so that the heated oxygen
sensor shows excellent response even if the
temperature of the exhaust gas is low.
Examples:
(1) Malfunction of an injector.
(2) Air leakage into the intake manifold from a leak-
ing gasket.
(3) Malfunction of the volume air flow sensor, the intake air temperature sensor, the
barometric-
pressure sensor, or the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor.

SENSOR INSPECTION
(1) Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor connector, and con-nect the special tool (harness connector) to the heated ox-
ygen sensor side.
(2) Check that there is continuity [approx. 1252 at 20°C (68”F)]
between heated oxygen sensor connector terminal @ (red
clip of special tool) and terminal @ (blue clip).
(3) If there is no continuity, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
(4) Warm up the engine until the engine coolant temperature
exceeds
80°C (176°F).
(5) Use jumper wires to connect heated oxygen sensor termi-nal
@ (red clip of special tool) and terminal @I (blue clip) to
the battery 0 terminal and 0 terminal.
Caution
Be very careful when connecting the jumper wiresbecause the heated oxygen sensor will be damaged if
a mistake is made in the connecting terminals.
(6) Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal
@ (yellow
clip of special tool) and terminal @ (black clip).
(7) While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the output
voltage of the heated oxygen sensor.
