Component Inspection

  1. Visual Inspection.
    1. IG "OFF"
    2. Disconnect HO2S (B1/S2) connector.
    3. Check that HO2S (B1S2) is contaminated or damaged by foreign materials.
    4. Has a problem been found?

      YES 

      • Go to  2 "Check ECM/PCM" as follows.

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known - good HO2S (B1/S2) and check for proper operation.
      • If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S (B1/S2) and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  2. Check ECM/PCM.
    1. IG "OFF".
    2. Connect scantool and Engine "ON".
    3. Select simulation function on scantool.
    4. Simulate voltage at terminal 2 of HO2S (B1/S2) signal connector.

    5. Does the signal value of HO2S (B1/S2) change according to simulation voltage?

      YES 

      • Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known - good ECM/PCM and check for proper operation.
      • If the problem is corrected, replace ECM/PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by ECM/PCM.
      Before or after testing ECM/PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the ECM/PCM
