DTC P0154: A/F/O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected Bank 2 Sensor 1: Notes

DTC detecting condition:

Immediately at fault recognition

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H6DO)>CLEAR MEMORY MODE>OPERATION ., and inspection mode Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H6DO)>INSPECTION MODE>PROCEDURE .
Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance.

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connectors from front oxygen (A/F) sensor.
4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.
Connector & terminal

(E158) No. 45 - (E24) No. 3:

(E158) No. 44 - (E24) No. 4:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes Go to 2 .

No Repair the harness and connector.

NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
- Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
- Poor contact of coupling connector
CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.

Check for poor contact of ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

Is there poor contact of ECM or front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector?

Yes Repair the poor contact of ECM or front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

No Replace the front oxygen (A/F) sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H6DO)>FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR .
