DTC P2A00: A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Range/Performance Problem
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- 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.
- Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
- A/T in D, M/T in 3rd or 4th
- Vehicle speed between 25-55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for 5 minutes
- Drive at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (88-120 km/h) for 10 seconds, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2A00 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate FAILED?
YES: Go to step 6.
NO: If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM. If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION or NOT COMPLETED, go to step 3 and recheck.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see A/F SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Test-drive under these conditions:
- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158°F (70°C)
- A/T in D, M/T in 3rd or 4th
- Vehicle speed between 25-55 mph (40 - 88 km/h) for 5 minutes
- Drive at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (88-120 km/h) for 10 seconds, then decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) for 5 seconds
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P2A00 indicated?
YES: Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.
NO: Go to step 13.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2A00 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES: Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 12, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO: If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION or NOT COMPLETED, go to step 11.
