CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (Cont'd)
DIAGNOSIS CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diag. code detecting condition after diag. code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed co\
nfirming that diag. codeis no longer detected.
Malfunction: Open or Short in Sub±Oxygen Sensor

Initiate test mode (See page TR±12).
Start engine and warm up.
After engine is warmed up, let it idle for 3 min.
With the A/C ON and the transmission in D range (O/D OFF), drive at 40 ±\
60 mph (64±96
km/h) for 6 min.
After the driving in , stop the vehicle.
Once the vehicle is stopped, within the next minute apply acceleration w\
ith the throttle
fully open for 4 sec.
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the ºCHECKº engine warning light will light\
up after full acceleration for 4 sec.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the\
malfunction will not be possible.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1Disconnect the engine & ECT ECU connector.
C
OK
P(2) Connect the Check Harness A.(See page TR±30)
(2) Disconnect engine & ECT ECU connector.
(2) Turn ignition switch on.
Measure voltage between terminals HTL2, HTR2 of en-
gine & ECT ECU connector and body ground.
Voltage: 10 ± 14 V
Go to step [3].
2Check sub±oxygen sensor heater.
C
OK
PDisconnect sub±oxygen sensor connector.
Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of sub±
oxygen sensor connector.
Resistance: 5.1 ± 6.3
20 C (68 F)
Replace sub±oxygen sensor.
Check and repair harness or connector between
main relay and sub±oxygen sensor, sub±oxygen
sensor and engine & ECT ECU.

Hint
P(2) Connect engine & ECT ECU connector.
(2) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
Measure voltage between terminals HTL2, HTR2 of en-
gine & ECT ECU connector and body ground, when en-
gine is idling and racing at 4,000 rpm.
In the 4,000 rpm racing check , continue engine racing
at 4,000 prm for approx. 20 seconds or more.
Replace sub±oxygen sensor.**: In this case, oxygen sensor can be deteriorated.
Check and replace engine & ECT ECU.
