Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located far
from the engine assembly.
DESCRIPTION
A three-way catalytic converter (TWC) is used in order to convert the carbon monoxide (CO), hydro
carbon (HC), and nitrogen oxides (HOx) into less harmful substances. To allow the TWC to function
effectively, it is necessary to keep the air-fuel ratio of the engine near the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. For
helping the ECM to deliver accurate air-fuel ratio control, a Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor becomes 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 becomes 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
drastically 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
working improperly due to internal malfunctions, the ECM is unable to compensate for deviations in the
primary air-fuel ratio control.

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
indicates a near stoichiometric air-fuel level. This vehicle includes active air-fuel ratio control in addition to
regular 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 or P0156 (abnormal
voltage output), P0137 or P0157 (open circuit) or P0138 or P0158 (short circuit).
Abnormal Voltage Output of HO2 Sensor (DTCs P0136 and 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 or 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 DTCs P0136 and P0156.
Open or Short in Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor Circuit (DTCs P0137 and P0157 or P0138 and
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 ES-250).

DESCRIPTION
When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. High HC
concentration levels can cause increase in exhaust emission levels. Extremely high concentrations of HC
can also cause increases in the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) temperature, which may cause
damage to the TWC. To prevent this increase in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage,
the ECM monitors the misfire rate. When the temperature of the TWC reaches the point of thermal
degradation, the ECM blinks the MIL. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the VVT sensor and the
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The VVT sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the CKP
sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted when the
crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds. If the misfire count exceeds the
threshold levels, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.

When multiple DTCs for misfiring cylinders are set, but DTC P0300 is not set, it indicates that misfires
have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P0300 is only set when several misfiring
cylinders are detected at the same time.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could
cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).
• Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions of the engine starting, an excessive misfiring rate
(approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
• An excessive misfiring rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1,000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a
total of 4 times.
The ECM flashes the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause
the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) damage, is detected (2 trip detection logic).
• At a high engine rpm, a catalyst damage misfire, which monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions,
occurs once.
• At a normal engine rpm, a catalyst damage misfire, which monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions,
occurs 3 times.

• Although the DTC titles say oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor.
• Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and
located near the engine assembly.
DESCRIPTION
The A/F sensor generates a voltage* that corresponds to the actual air-fuel ratio. This sensor voltage is
used to provide the ECM with feedback so that it can control the air-fuel ratio. The ECM determines the
deviation from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio level, and regulates the fuel injection time. If the A/F sensor
malfunctions, the ECM is unable to control the air-fuel ratio accurately.
The A/F sensor is the planar type and is integrated with the heater, which heats the solid electrolyte
(zirconia element). This heater is controlled by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the exhaust
gas temperature is low), a current flows into the heater to heat the sensor, in order to facilitate accurate
oxygen concentration detection. In addition, the sensor and heater portions are narrower than the
conventional type. The heat generated by the heater is conducted to the solid electrolyte through the
alumina, therefore the sensor activation is accelerated.
A three-way catalytic converter (TWC) is used in order to convert the carbon monoxide (CO), hydro
carbon (HC), and nitrogen oxides (HOx) into less harmful substances. To allow the TWC to function
effectively, it is necessary to keep the air-fuel ratio of the engine near the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
*: Value changes inside the ECM. Since the A/F sensor is the current output element, a current is
converted to a voltage inside the ECM. Any measurements taken at the A/F sensor or ECM connectors
will show a constant voltage.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
After the engine is warmed up, the ECM performs air-fuel ratio feedback control to maintain the air-fuel
ratio at the stoichiometric level. In addition, active A/F ratio control is performed for approximately 10
seconds after preconditions are met in order to measure the A/F sensor response rate. During active A/F
ratio control, the ECM forcibly increases and decreases the injection volume to a certain amount, based
on the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio learned during normal air-fuel ratio control, and measures the A/F
sensor response rate. The ECM receives a signal from the A/F sensor while performing active A/F ratio
control and uses it to calculate the A/F sensor response rate deterioration level.
If the value for A/F sensor response rate deterioration level is less than the threshold, the ECM interprets
this as a malfunction and sets the DTC.
