FAIL-SAFE CHART
If a problem occurs in the electric power steering system, the
P/S warning light will come on in the combination meter and
steering power assist will be stopped, fixed at a particular
point, or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.
Electronic power steering system
HINT:
The amount of power assist may be decreased to prevent the
motor and ECUs from overheating if the steering wheel is
continuously turned when the vehicle is either stopped or
driven at a low speed, or if the steering wheel is kept at either
full lock position for a long time. In such cases, the amount of
power assist returns to normal if the steering wheel is not
turned for approximately 10 minutes with the engine idling.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses information from the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor to regulate the air-fuel ratio and keep it
close to the stoichiometric level. This maximizes the ability of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) to
purify the exhaust gases.
The A/F sensor detects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and transmits the information to the ECM. The
inner surface of the sensor element is exposed to the outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element
is exposed to the exhaust gas. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an
integrated heating element.
The zirconia element generates a small voltage when there is a large difference in the oxygen
concentrations between the exhaust gas and outside air. The platinum coating amplifies this voltage
generation.
The A/F sensor is more efficient when heated. When the exhaust gas temperature is low, the sensor
cannot generate useful voltage signals without supplementary heating. The ECM regulates the
supplementary heating using a duty-cycle approach to adjust the average current in the sensor heater
element. If the heater current is outside the normal range, the signal transmitted by the A/F sensor
becomes inaccurate, as a result, the ECM is unable to regulate air-fuel ratio properly.
When the current in the A/F sensor heater is outside the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this
as a malfunction in the sensor heater and sets a DTC.
Example:
The ECM sets DTC P0032 when the current in the A/F sensor heater is more than 10 A. Conversely,
when the heater current is less than 0.8 A, DTC P0031 is set.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The sensing position of the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a zirconia element which is used to detect
the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. If the zirconia element is at the appropriate temperature,
and the difference between the oxygen concentrations surrounding the inside and outside surfaces of the
sensor is large, the zirconia element generates voltage signals. In order to increase the oxygen
concentration detecting capacity of the zirconia element, the ECM supplements the heat from the exhaust
with heat from a heating element inside the sensor.
Heated oxygen sensor heater range check (P0037 and P0038):
The ECM monitors the current applied to the O2 sensor heater to check the heater for malfunctions. If the
current is below the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is an open circuit in the heater. If the
current is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a short circuit in the heater.
The ECM constantly monitors the current applied to the heater. If the ECM detects an open or short
circuit, the ECM turns the MIL on and sets a DTC.
If a malfunction is detected, the ECM cuts off the current applied to the heater.
Example:
The ECM sets DTC P0038 when the current in the HO2 sensor heater is more than 2 A. Conversely,
when the heater current is less than 0.3 A, DTC P0037 is set.
Heated oxygen sensor heater performance (P0141):
After the accumulated heater ON time exceeds 100 seconds, the ECM calculates the heater resistance
using the battery voltage and the current applied to the heater.
If the resistance is above the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the HO2
sensor heater and set DTC P0141.
