NOTE:
 Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
 If some of the DTCs listed below are stored at the same time as DTC P0420, troubleshoot them first,
then recheck for DTC P0420.
P0137, P0138: Sec ondary HO2S (Sensor 2)
P0141: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) heater
 Poor quality fuel may cause this DTC.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
4. Test-drive under these conditions:  Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above70°C(158°F)
 A/TinD,M/Tin5th
 Vehicle speed between 72 120 km/h (45 75 mph) for 5 minutes or more with cruise
control set
 K20Z2 engine: Maintain the vehicle speed at 88 km/h (55 mph) for 5 minutes or more with
cruise control set
 K20Z3 engine: Maintain the vehicle speed at 88 km/h (55 mph) for 30 seconds or more
5. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0420 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Go to step 6.
If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION,
go to step 4 and recheck. If the screen indicates
PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at
this time. If the screen indicates FAILED, go to step
8.
6. Continue test driving until a result comes on. 7. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0420 in the
DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Go to step 8.
If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent
failure, the system is OK at this time. If the screen
indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result
comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF
CONDITION, go to step 4 and recheck.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
9. Replace the TWC (see page 11-355).
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
11. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
12. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
13. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
14. Test-drive for about 10 minutes, varying the vehicle speed.
15. Check the CATA MONITOR CONDITION in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Go to step 16.
Go to step 13 and recheck.
16. Test-drive under these conditions:  Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above70°C(158°F)

4. Do the EGR TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Go to step 5.
Go to step 7.
5. Test-drive under these conditions:  Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above70°C(158°F)
 A/TinD,M/Tin4th
 Drive at a steady speed between 88 120 km/h (55 75 mph) for at least 10 seconds
 During the drive, decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds
6. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0401 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
RemovetheEGRplate(seepage9-2),and
clean the intake manifold port with throttle plate
and induction cleaner, then go to step 9.
If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent
failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for
poor connections or loose terminals at the EGR
valve and the ECM/PCM. If the screen indicates
EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If
the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to
step 5 and recheck. 7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Replace the EGR valve (see page 11-370).
9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
11. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
12. Test-drive under these conditions:  Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1)above70°C(158°F)
 A/TinD,M/Tin4th
 Drive at a steady speed between 88 120 km/h (55 75 mph) for at least 10 seconds
 During the drive, decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds
13. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Check for poor connections or loose
terminals at the EGR valve and the ECM/PCM. If the
connections are OK, go to step 15.
Go to step 14.
14. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0401 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Troubleshooting is complete. If any other
Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 13,
go to the indicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor
connections or loose terminals at the EGR valve
and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen
indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result
comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF
CONDITION, go to step 12.
