ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT AIR FUEL RATIO COMPENSATION SYSTEM
(a) Inspect the voltage.
(1) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(2) Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage between
the terminals of the ECM.
Standard:
Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
A1A+ (E9-22) - E1 (E8-1)3.3 V
A1A- (E9-30) - E1 (E8-1)3.0 V
A2A+ (E9-23) - E1 (E8-1)3.3 V
A2A- (E9-31) - E1 (E8-1)3.0 V
CAUTION:
Connect the test leads from the back side of the ECM con-
nector to the terminals.
HINT:
The voltage between the terminals of the ECM is constant re-
gardless of the voltage output from the air fuel ratio sensor (A/F
sensor).
(b) Check the operation.
(1) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Enter ºDIAGNOSIS/ENHANCED OBD II/DATA
LISTº, then select ºAFS B1 S1º and ºAFS B2 S1º to
display the monitor.
(3) Warm up the A/F sensor with the engine speed at
2,500 rpm for approximately 2 minutes.
(4) Keep the engine speed at 2,500 rpm, then confirm
that the waveform of ºAFS B1 S1º and ºAFS B2 S1º
are similar as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
The waveform in the illustration is a sample.
Only the hand-held tester displays the waveform of the
A/F sensor.
(c) Confirm that the display of ºDATA LISTº - ºO2S B1 S2º
and ºO2S B2 S2º fluctuates up and down between 0 V
and 1 V with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm.
