DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step	Check	Yes	No
1 CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connectors from front oxygen (A/F) sensor. Turn the ignition switch to ON. Measure the voltage between front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector and engine ground. Connector & terminal (E47) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-):	Is the voltage 10 V or more?	Go to step 2 .	Repair the power supply line. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Open circuit in harness between A/F, oxygen sensor relay and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector Poor contact of A/F, oxygen sensor relay connector Poor contact of coupling connector Malfunction of A/F, oxygen sensor relay
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. Disconnect the connector from ECM. Measure the resistance between ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector. Connector & terminal (B136) No. 5 - (E47) No. 1: (B136) No. 6 - (E47) No. 1:	Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?	Go to step 3 .	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Open circuit in harness between ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector Poor contact of coupling connector
3 CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR ECM. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B134) No. 3 - Chassis ground: (B134) No. 4 - Chassis ground: (B134) No. 6 - Chassis ground: (B137) No. 1 - Chassis ground: (B137) No. 3 - Chassis ground: (B137) No. 5 - Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?	Go to step 4 .	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: Open circuit of harness between ECM and engine ground Poor contact of coupling connector
4 CHECK FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR. Measure the resistance between front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector terminals. Terminals No. 2 - No. 1:	Is the resistance 2 - 3 Ω?	Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.	Replace the front oxygen (A/F) sensor. Refer to FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR .
