1) 2) 3) 4) 41 – 46 mph
(65 – 75 km / h)
28 – 34 mph
(45 – 55 km / h)
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
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.
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)
–Intake air temp.: between –10C and 80C (14F and 158F)
–Engine coolant temp.: 70C, 230F or higher
2) Start engine and drive vehicle at 41 – 46 mph, 65 – 75 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 COMPLTD” is still being displayed, continue test driving.
3) Decrease vehicle speed at 28 – 34 mph, 45 – 55 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 Con-
firmation Flow Table”.
Test Result Confirmation Flow Table
STEPACTIONYESNO
1Check 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.
2Set scan tool to “READINESS TESTS” mode and
check if testing has been completed.
Is test completed?No DTC is detected
(confirmation test is
completed).Repeat DTC
confirmation
procedure.

2Check Short Term Fuel Trim.
Did short term fuel trim vary within –20% –+20%
range in step 3) of DTC confirmation test?Go to Step 3.Check fuel system.
Go to DTC P0171 / P0172
Diag. Flow Table.
3Check HO2S-2 for Output Voltage.
Perform steps 1) through 9) of DTC confirmation
procedure for DTC P0136 (HO2S-2 malfunction)
and check output voltage of HO2S-2 then.
Is over 0.6 V and below 0.3 V indicated?Replace three way
catalytic converter.Check “R” and “G” wires
for open and short, and
connections for poor
connection.
If wires and connections
are OK, replace
HO2S-2.
