6-98 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
Clear DTC with ignition switch ON, check vehicle and environmental condition for :
–Altitude (barometric pressure) : 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Ambient temp. : –10°C, 14°F or higher
–Intake air temp. : 70°C, 158°F or lower
–Engine coolant temp. : 70 – 110°C, 158 – 230°F
2) Start engine and drive vehicle at 35 – 45 mph, 55 – 65 km/h for 8 min. or longer.
While this driving, if “Catalyst Monitoring TEST COMPLETED” is displayed in “READINESS TESTS” mode
and DTC is not displayed in “DTC” mode, confirmation test is completed.
If “TEST NOT COMPLETE” is still being displayed, continue test driving.
3) Decrease vehicle speed at 30 – 40 mph, 50 – 60 km/h, and hold throttle valve at that opening position for 2
min. and confirm that short term fuel trim vary within – 20% – +20% range.
4) Stop vehicle (do not turn ignition switch OFF) and confirm test results according to following “Test Result
Confirmation Flow Table”.
TEST RESULT CONFIRMATION FLOW TABLE
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic acci-
dent and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and tester, on a level road.
Step Action Yes No
1 Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in
“ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
Is DTC or pending DTC displayed?Proceed to applicable
DTC Diag. Flow Table.Go to Step 2.
2 Set scan tool to “READINESS TESTS” mode
and check if testing has been completed.
Is test completed?No DTC is detected (con-
firmation test is com-
pleted).Repeat DTC confirmation
procedure.

+20% range in step 3) of DTC confirmation
test?Go to Step 3. Check fuel system.
Go to DTC P0171/P0172
Diag. Flow Table.
3 Check HO2S-2 for Output Voltage.
Perform steps 1) through 9) of DTC confirma-
tion procedure for DTC P0136 (HO2S-2 mal-
function) and check output voltage of HO2S-2
then.
Is over 0.6 V and below 0.3 V indicated?Replace three way cata-
lytic converter.Check “BRN” and “YEL”
wires for open and short,
and connections for poor
connection.
If wires and connections
are OK, replace HO2S-2.
