On Board Diagnosis LogicNLEC0122To judge the malfunction of heated oxygen sensor 1 (front), this
diagnosis measures response time of heated oxygen sensor 1
(front) signal. The time is compensated by engine operating (speed
and load), fuel feedback control constant, and heated oxygen sen-
sor 1 (front) temperature index. Judgment is based on whether the
compensated time [heated oxygen sensor 1 (front) cycling time
index] is inordinately long or not.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNLEC0123CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds
before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Always perform at a temperature above þ10ÉC (14ÉF).
+Before performing the following procedure, confirm that
battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.
With CONSULT-II
1) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2) Stop engine and wait at least 9 seconds.
3) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªHO2S1 (B1) P0133º of
ªHO2S1º in ªDTC WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
4) Touch ªSTARTº.
5) Start engine and let it idle for at least 3 minutes.
NOTE:
Never raise engine speed above 3,200 rpm after this step. If
the engine speed limit is exceeded, return to step 5.
6) When the following conditions are met, ªTESTINGº will be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen. Maintain the conditions
continuously until ªTESTINGº changes to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It
will take approximately 50 seconds.)
ENG SPEED 2,100 - 3,100 rpm
Vehicle speed 80 - 120 km/h (50 - 75 MPH)
B/FUEL SCHDL 3.8 - 7.6 msec
Selector lever Suitable position
If ªTESTINGº is not displayed after 5 minutes, retry from
step 2.

This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold

EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A
built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the
ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum
engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined
by considering various engine conditions. The EGR volume control
valve remains close under the following conditions.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNLEC0229CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
+If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least
9 seconds before conducting the next test.
+P0400 will not be displayed at ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode
with CONSULT-II even though DTC work support test result is
ªNGº.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Before performing the following procedure, confirm bat-
tery voltage is more than 10V at idle, then stop engine
immediately.
+For best result, perform the test at a temperature of 0ÉC
(32ÉF) or higher.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds.
2) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
3) Check ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº in ªDATA MONITORº mode with
CONSULT-II and confirm it is within the range listed below.
COOLAN TEMP/S: Less than 40ÉC (104ÉF)
If the value is out of range, park the vehicle in a cool place and
allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to
lower the engine coolant temperature with a fan or means
other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate
diagnostic result.
4) Start engine and let it idle monitoring ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº
value. When the ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº value reaches 70ÉC
(158ÉF), immediately go to the next step.
5) Select ªEGR SYSTEM P0400º of ªEGR SYSTEMº in ªDTC
WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
6) Touch ªSTARTº.
7) Accelerate vehicle to a speed of 40 km/h (25 MPH) once and
then stop vehicle with engine running.
If ªCOMPLETEDº appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to step
9.
If ªCOMPLETEDº does not appear on CONSULT-II screen, go
to the following step.
8) When the following conditions are met, ªTESTINGº will be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen. Maintain the conditions
until ªTESTINGº changes to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It will take
approximately 45 seconds or more.)
