DTC P1146, P1166 HO2S2PFP:226A0
Component DescriptionABS007RW
The heated oxygen sensor 2, after three way catalyst (manifold),
monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank.
Even if switching characteristics of the heated oxygen sensor 1 are
shifted, the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric, by the signal
from the heated oxygen sensor 2.
This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates volt-
age from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner condi-
tions.
Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 is not used for
engine control operation.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeABS007RX
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicABS007RY
The heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time
between rich and lean than the heated oxygen sensor 1. The oxygen
storage capacity of the three way catalyst (manifold) causes the
longer switching time. To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen
sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the minimum voltage of sensor is
sufficiently low during the various driving condition such as fuel-cut.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationABS00E3N

Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.

Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.

Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.

Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.

Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.

After repairing, start the engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust gases for leakage.
Precautions for Angle TighteningABS00E3O

Use the angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
–Cylinder head bolts
–Main bearing cap bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No the angle wrench is required as bolt flange is provided with notches for angle
tightening)

Do not use a torque value for final tightening.

The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.

Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precautions for Liquid GasketABS00E3P
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating
surface using the seal cutter [SST] and remove old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

Tap the seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown in the figure.

In areas where the seal cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic
hammer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as a screwdriver
is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur- face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

REMOVAL
WARNING:

Put a “CAUTION INFLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.

Be sure to work in a well ventilated area and furnish workshop with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.

To avoid the danger of being scalded, do not drain engine coolant when the engine is hot.
1. Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to EM-19, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-99, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
3. Drain engine coolant, or when water hoses are disconnected, attach plug to prevent engine coolant leak- age. Refer to CO-11, "
Changing Engine Coolant" and EM-19, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
CAUTION:
Perform this step when the engine is cold.

4. Remove fuel feed hose (with damper) from fuel sub-tube.
NOTE:
There is no fuel return route.
CAUTION:

While hoses are disconnected, plug them to prevent fuel
from draining.

Do not separate damper and hose.
5. When separating fuel feed hose (with damper) and centralized under-floor piping connection, disconnect quick connector as the following:
a. Remove quick connector cap from quick connector connection on right member side.
b. Disconnect fuel feed hose (with damper) from bracket hose clamp.
c. Disconnect quick connector from centralized under-floor piping as follows: CAUTION:
Disconnect quick connector by using quick connector release [SST: — (J-45488)], not by picking
out retainer tabs.
i. With the sleeve side of quick connector release facing quick connector, install quick connector release onto centralized under-floor piping.
ii. Insert quick connector release into quick connector until sleeve contacts and goes no further. Hold quick connector release on
that position.
CAUTION:
Inserting quick connector release hard will not disconnect
quick connector. Hold quick connector release where it
contacts and goes no further.
iii. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from centralized under-floor piping.
CAUTION:

Pull quick connector holding “A” position as shown in
the figure.

Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.

Prepare container and cloth beforehand as fuel will leak out.

Avoid fire and sparks.

Keep parts away from heat source. Especially, be careful when welding is performed around
them.

Do not expose parts to battery electrolyte or other acids.

Do not bend or twist connection between quick connector and fuel feed hose (with damper) dur-
ing installation/removal.

Tighten mounting bolts in two steps in numerical order as
shown in the figure.
6. Connect injector sub-harness.
7. Install intake manifold collectors (upper and lower). Refer to EM-19, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
8. Install fuel sub-tube on rear end of intake manifold collector (lower).
9. Connect fuel feed hose (with damper).

Handling procedure of O-ring is the same as that of fuel damper and fuel sub-tube.

Insert fuel damper straight into fuel sub-tube.

Tighten mounting bolts evenly in turn.

After tightening mounting bolts, make sure that there is no gap between flange and fuel sub-tube.
10. Connect quick connector between fuel feed hose (with damper) and centralized under-floor piping con- nection as follows:
a. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around centralized under-floor piping and quick connector, and no damage on them.
b. Thinly apply new engine oil around centralized under-floor piping from tip end to spool end.
c. Align center to insert quick connector straightly into centralized under-floor piping.

Insert quick connector to centralized under-floor piping until
top spool is completely inside quick connector, and 2nd level
spool exposes right below quick connector.
CAUTION:

Hold “A” position as shown in the figure when inserting
centralized under-floor piping into quick connector.

Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.

Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel the
engagement.

To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar
sound, be sure to perform the next step.
d. Pull quick connector by hand holding “A” position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from centralized under-floor piping.
e. Install quick connector cap to quick connector connection.

Install quick connector cap with arrow on surface facing in
direction of quick connector (fuel feed hose side).
CAUTION:
If quick connector cap cannot be installed smoothly, quick
connector may have not been installed correctly. Check the
connection again.
11. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step. 1st step
: 10.1 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 7 ft-lb)
2nd step : 23.6 N·m (2.4 kg-m, 17 ft-lb)
