DTC P2270: O2 Sensor Signal Biased/Stuck Lean Bank 1 Sensor 2: Notes

  1. DTC detecting condition: 

    Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

    Wiring diagram: 

    Engine Electrical system. Refer to WIRING SYSTEM>ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM .

CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Refer to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>PREPARATION TOOL>HOW TO USE CHECK BOARD .
NOTE: After the faulty parts are repaired or replaced, perform the final check in Basic Diagnostic Procedure. Refer to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DO)>Basic Diagnostic Procedure>PROCEDURE .
  1. CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR  .
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Check the rear oxygen sensor connector.

      Has water entered the connector?

      Yes  : Completely remove any water inside.

      No  : Go to  2.

  2. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR (OPEN)  .
    1. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
    2. Disconnect the connector from the rear oxygen sensor.
    3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and rear oxygen sensor connector.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B62) No. 33 - (B95) No. 3:

      (B62) No. 44 - (B95) No. 4:

      Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

      Yes  : Go to  3.

      No  : Repair the open circuit of harness between ECM connector and rear oxygen sensor connector.

  3. CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR (SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY)  .
    1. Connect the connector to ECM.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Measure the voltage between rear oxygen sensor connector and engine ground.

      Connector & terminal 

      (B95) No. 3 (+) - Engine ground (-):

      Is the voltage 0.15 V or more?

      Yes  : Repair the short circuit to power supply in harness between ECM connector and rear oxygen sensor connector.

      No  : Go to  4.

  4. CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM  .

    Check exhaust system parts.

    NOTE: Check the following items.
    • Looseness and improper fitting of exhaust system parts
    • Damage (crack, hole etc.) of parts
    • Damage (crack, hole etc.) between front oxygen (A/F) sensor and rear oxygen sensor

    Is there any fault in exhaust system?

    Yes  : Repair or replace faulty parts.

    No  : Replace the rear oxygen sensor. Refer to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DO)>REAR OXYGEN SENSOR .
