A/F Sensor Inspection

Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [MZR 2.5] .)
- VSS (Vehicle speed)
- RPM (Engine speed)
- O2S11 (A/F sensor output current)
Drive the vehicle and decelerate the engine speed by releasing the accelerator pedal fully when the engine speed is 3, 000 RPM or more .
Verify that the A/F sensor output current (PID: O2S11) is 0.25 mA or more while decelerating as shown below.
