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.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In order to obtain a high purification rate of the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide
(NOx) components in the exhaust gas, a TWC is used. For the most efficient use of the TWC, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel level. For the purpose
of helping the ECM to deliver accurate air±fuel ratio control, a Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor is used.
The HO2 sensor is located behind the TWC, and detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. Since
the sensor is integrated with the heater that heats the sensing portion, it is possible to detect the oxygen
concentration even when the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low).
When the air±fuel ratio becomes lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is rich. The HO2 sensor
informs the ECM that the post±TWC air±fuel ratio is lean (low voltage, i.e. less than 0.45 V).
Conversely, when the air±fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric air±fuel level, the oxygen concentration
in the exhaust gas becomes lean. The HO2 sensor informs the ECM that the post±TWC air±fuel ratio is rich
(high voltage, i.e. more than 0.45 V). The HO2 sensor has the property of changing its output voltage drasti-
cally when the air±fuel ratio is close to the stoichiometric level.
The ECM uses the supplementary information from the HO2 sensor to determine whether the air±fuel ratio
after the TWC is rich or lean, and adjusts the fuel injection time accordingly. Thus, if the HO2 sensor is work-

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
Active Air±Fuel Ratio Control
The ECM usually performs air±fuel ratio feedback control so that the Air±Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor output indi-
cates a near stoichiometric air±fuel level. This vehicle includes active air±fuel ratio control in addition to regu-
lar air±fuel ratio control. The ECM performs active air±fuel ratio control to detect any deterioration in the
Three±Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor malfunctions (refer to the diagram
below).
Active air±fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 15 to 20 seconds while driving with a warm engine.
During active air±fuel ratio control, the air±fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become lean or rich by the ECM.
If the ECM detects a malfunction, one of the following DTCs is set: DTC P0136, P0156 (abnormal voltage
output), P0137, P0157 (open circuit) and P0138, P0158 (short circuit).
Abnormal Voltage Output of HO2 Sensor (DTC P0136, P0156)
While the ECM is performing active air±fuel ratio control, the air±fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become
rich or lean. If the sensor is not functioning properly, the voltage output variation is small. For example, when
the HO2 sensor voltage does not decrease to less than 0.21 V and does not increase to more than 0.59 V
during active air±fuel ratio control, the ECM determines that the sensor voltage output is abnormal and sets
DTC P0136.

Open or Short in the Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor Circuit (DTC P0137, P0157, P0138 or P0158)
During active air±fuel ratio control, the ECM calculates the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC)* of the Three±
Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) by forcibly regulating the air±fuel ratio to become rich or lean.
If the HO2 sensor has an open or short, or the voltage output of the sensor noticeably decreases, the OSC
indicates an extraordinarily high value. Even if the ECM attempts to continue regulating the air±fuel ratio to
become rich or lean, the HO2 sensor output does not change.
While performing active air±fuel ratio control, when the target air±fuel ratio is rich and the HO2 sensor voltage
output is 0.21 V or less (lean), the ECM interprets this as an abnormally low sensor output voltage and sets
DTC P0137 or P0157. When the target air±fuel ratio is lean and the voltage output is 0.59 V or more (rich)
during active air±fuel ratio control, the ECM determines that the sensor voltage output is abnormally high,
and sets DTC P0138 or P0158.
HINT:
DTC P0138 or P0158 is also set if the HO2 sensor voltage output is more than 1.2 V for 30 seconds or more.
*: The TWC has the capability to store oxygen. The OSC and the emission purification capacity of the TWC
are mutually related. The ECM determines whether the catalyst has deteriorated, based on the calculated
OSC value (see page DI±249).

High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor (DTC P0136, P0156, P0137 or P0157)
During normal air±fuel ratio feedback control, there are small
variations in the exhaust gas oxygen concentration.
In order to
continuously monitor the slight variation of the HO2 sensor sig-
nal while the engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor
is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there is a
malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance devi-
ates from the standard range.
*: The effective resistance in an alternating current electrical cir-
cuit.
HINT:
The impedance can not be measured using an ohmme-
ter.
DTC P0136 or P0156 indicates the deterioration of the
HO2 sensor. The ECM sets the DTC by calculating the im-
pedance of the sensor when the typical enabling condi-
tions are satisfied (1 driving cycle).
DTC P0137 or P0157 indicates an open circuit in the HO2
sensor (1 driving cycle). The ECM sets this DTC when the
impedance of the sensor exceeds the threshold 348.1
MW.
