1991 LEXUS SC400 oxygen sensor

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor as fol-
lows:
wDisconnect the grommet from the floor panel, and pull
out the wire of the sub±oxygen sensor from the floor
panel.
w Remove the two nuts, cover and sub±oxygen sensor
from the front exhaust pipe.
w Install a new gasket, a new sub±oxygen sensor and the
cover to the front exhaust pipe with the two nuts.
Torque: 18 N Vm (180 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)
w Run the wire of the sub±oxygen sensor through the hole
in the floor panel.

temperature.
2. INSPECT FEEDBACK VOLTAGE Connect the positive (+) probe of a voltmeter to terminal VF1
(for LH bank) or VF2 (for RH bank) of the check (ºDIAGNO-
SISº) connector, and negative (±) probe to terminal E1. Per-
form the test as follows described on the next page.

(b) A llo w th e en g in e to wa rm up to no rma l op e ra tin gtemperature.
(c) Drive for 5 minutes or more between 80km/h (50 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph) in ºDº range.
(d) Following the conditions in step (c), 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 sen-
sor circuit. If the circuit is normal, replace the sub±oxygen
sensor.
