HINT:
If either of the voltage outputs of the Air±Fuel Ratio (A/F) or Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensors does not
fluctuate, or either of the sensors makes a noise, the sensor may be malfunctioning.
If the voltage outputs of both the sensors remain lean or rich, the air±fuel ratio may be extremely lean
or rich. In such cases, perform the following A/F CONTROL using a hand±held tester.
If the Three±Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) has deteriorated, the HO2 sensor (located behind the
TWC) voltage output fluctuates up and down frequently, even under normal driving conditions (active
air±fuel ratio control is not performed).
A/F CONTROL
HINT:
Hand±held tester only:
Malfunctioning areas can be identified by performing the A/F CONTROL function provided in the ACTIVE
TEST. The A/F CONTROL function can help to determine whether the Air±Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor, Heated
Oxygen (HO2) sensor and other potential trouble areas are malfunctioning.
The following instructions describe how to conduct the A/F CONTROL operation using a hand±held tester.
(1) Connect a hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
(3) Warm up the engine at an engine speed of 2,500 rpm for approximately 90 seconds.
(4) On the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE
TEST / A/F CONTROL.
(5) Perform the A/F CONTROL operation with the engine in an idling condition (press the RIGHT
or LEFT button to change the fuel injection volume).
(6) Monitor the voltage outputs of the A/F and HO2 sensors (AFS B1S1 and OS2 B1S2) displayed
on the tester.
HINT:
The A/F CONTROL operation lowers the fuel injection volume by 12.5 % or increases the injection
volume by 25 %.
Each sensor reacts in accordance with increases and decreases in the fuel injection volume.

NOTICE:

sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.
Following the A/F CONTROL procedure enables technicians to check and graph the voltage outputs
of both the A/F and HO2 sensors.
To display the graph, select the following menu items on the tester: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. 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, as well as other
data from the time when a malfunction occurred.

PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) When using hand±held tester, enter the following menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The two monitors, Key±Off and Purge Flow, are used to detect malfunctions relating to DTC P0441. The
Key±Off monitor is initiated by the ECM internal timer, known as the soak timer, 5 hours* after the ignition
switch is turned to OFF. The purge flow monitor runs while the engine is running.
1. KEY±OFF MONITOR
5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned OFF, the electric vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacu-
um) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions
based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT:
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35C (95F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off,
the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35C (95F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is
turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

AAtmospheric pressure

Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to
register atmospheric pressure.
If EVAP pressure is not between 70 kPa and 110 kPa (525 mmHg and 825 mmHg), ECM
cancels EVAP system monitor.

mentIn order to determine 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, vacuum pump creates negative pres-

sure measurement

(a) Purge VSV stuck open
In operation C, the vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission)
system. The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the pressure sensor. If the stabilized
system pressure is higher than [second 0.02 inch leak pressure standard x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as
the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC
(2 trip detection logic).
