CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Switch the hand-held tester from normal mode to check mode (see page 05-40).
(c) Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessory switched OFF.
(d) Drive the vehicle at 38 to 75 mph (60 to 120 km/h) and engine speed at 1,400 to 3,200 rpm for 3 to
5 minutes.
HINT:
If a malfunction exists, the MIL will be illuminated during step (d).
NOTICE:
If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of a malfunction will not occur. If you
do not have a hand-held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after performing steps (c) and (d), then
perform steps (c) and (d) again.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Hand-held tester only:
It is possible the malfunctioning area can be found using the ACTIVE TEST A/F CONTROL operation. The
A/F CONTROL operation can determine if the A/F sensor, heated oxygen sensor or other potential trouble
areas are malfunctioning or not.
(a) Perform the ACTIVE TEST A/F CONTROL operation.
HINT:
The A/F CONTROL operation lowers the injection volume 12.5 % or increases the injection volume 25 %.
(1) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(3) Warm up the engine by running the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
(4) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL.
(5) Perform the A/F CONTROL operation with the engine idle (press the right or left button).
Result:
A/F sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume:
+25 % " RICH output: Less than 3.0 V
-12.5 % " LEAN output: More than 3.35 V
Heated oxygen sensor reacts in accordance with increase and decrease of injection volume:
+25 % " RICH output: More than 0.55 V
-12.5 % " LEAN output: Less than 0.4 V

NOTICE:
The A/F sensor output has a few seconds of delay and the heated oxygen sensor output has about
20 seconds of delay.
The following A/F CONTROL procedure enables a technician to check and graph the voltage outputs of both
the A/F sensor and the heated oxygen sensor.
For displaying the graph, enter ºACTIVE TEST / A/F CONTROL / USER DATAº, select ºAFS B1S1 and O2S
B1S2º by pressing ºYESº and push ºENTERº. Then press ºF4º.
HINT:
If DTC P2195 or P2196 is displayed, check bank 1 sensor 1 circuit.
A low A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a RICH air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would
cause the engine to run with a RICH air-fuel mixture.
A high A/F sensor voltage could be caused by a LEAN air-fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would
cause the engine to run with a LEAN air-fuel mixture.
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records
the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can
help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel
ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

2 READ VALUE OF HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (OUTPUT VOLT-
AGE OF A/F SENSOR)
(a) Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
(b) Warm up the A/F sensor (bank 1 sensor 1) by running the engine at 2,500 rpm for approximately 90
seconds.
(c) Read A/F sensor voltage output on the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool.
(d) Hand-held tester only:
On the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SNAPSHOT
/ MANUAL SNAPSHOT / USER DATA. Read the values.
(e) Select ºAFS B1S1 / ENGINE SPDº and press YES.
(f) Monitor the A/F sensor voltage carefully.
(g) Check the A/F sensor voltage output under the following conditions:
(1) Allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds.
(2) Run the engine at approximately 2,500 rpm. Do not suddenly change the rpm.
(3) Raise the engine to 4,000 rpm and quickly release the accelerator pedal so that the throttle is
fully closed.
Standard:
Condition (1) and (2)
Voltage change of 3.3 V (0.66 V)* (between approximately 3.1 to 3.5 V) as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Condition (3)
A/F sensor voltage increases to 3.8 V (0.76 V)* or more during engine deceleration when fuel
is cut as shown in the illustration.
*: Voltage when using the OBD II scan tool.

HINT:
Whenever the A/F sensor output voltage remains at approximately 3.3 V (0.660 V)* (see ºMalfunction
Conditionº graphic) under any condition as well as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have an
open circuit. This will happen also when the A/F sensor heater has an open circuit.
Whenever the A/F sensor output voltage remains at a certain value of approximately 3.8 V (0.76 V)*
or more, or 2.8 V (0.56 V)* or less (see ºMalfunction Conditionº graphic) under any condition as well
as the above conditions, the A/F sensor may have a short circuit.
The ECM will stop fuel injection (fuel is cut) during engine deceleration. This will cause a LEAN condi-
tion and should result in a momentary increase in the A/F sensor output voltage.
The ECM must establish a closed throttle position learned value to perform fuel cut. If the battery termi-
nal has been disconnected, the vehicle must be driven over 10 mph (16 km/h) to allow the ECM to learn
the closed throttle position.
When the vehicle is driven:
The output voltage of the A/F sensor may be below 2.8 V (0.76 V)* during fuel enrichment. For the
vehicle, this translates to a sudden increase in speed with the accelerator pedal fully depressed when
trying to overtake another vehicle. The A/F sensor is functioning normally.
The A/F sensor is a current output element, and therefore the current is converted into voltage inside
the ECM. If measuring voltage at connectors of A/F sensor or ECM, you will observe a constant volt-
age.
*: Voltage when using the OBD II scan tool.
