A/F Sensor Inspection

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Switch the ignition ON (engine on).
  3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  4. Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
    • VSS (Vehicle speed)
    • RPM (Engine speed)
    • O2S11 (A/F sensor output current)
  5. Drive the vehicle and decelerate the engine speed by releasing the accelerator pedal fully when the engine speed is 3, 000 rpm or more  .
  6. Verify that the A/F sensor output current (PID: O2S11) is 0.25 mA or more  while decelerating as shown in the figure.
