NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information - Refer to: HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT THE FUEL AND EMISSIONS SYSTEMS or How to Troubleshoot the CVT System(CVT) .

DTC (PGM-FI)

1. Problem verification:

   - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   - 2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   - 3. Start the engine.

   - 4. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

   - 5. Test-drive under these conditions:

   • Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 °F (70 °C)
   • CVT in D, M/T in 3rd
   • Vehicle speed between 25-55 mph (40-90 km/h) for 5 minutes
   • Drive at a steady speed between 55-75 mph (90-120 km/h) for 10 seconds, then decelerate (with throttle fully closed) for 4 seconds or more

   P2A00 A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) Circuit Range/Performance Problem

   Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) .

   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 PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot. If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-4 and recheck.
