CAUTION: Use the check board when measuring the ECM terminal voltage and resistance. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>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. Ref. to ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS) (H4DOTC)>BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE>PROCEDURE .

CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR POWER SUPPLY .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from the rear oxygen sensor.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Measure the voltage between rear oxygen sensor connector and engine ground.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E25) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-):
Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Repair the following item.
- Open circuit in harness between M/B and rear oxygen sensor connector
- Poor contact of J/C
- Poor contact of coupling connector
- Blown out of fuse
CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND REAR OXYGEN SENSOR CONNECTOR (OPEN) .
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and rear oxygen sensor connector.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E25) No. 2 - (E159) No. 3:
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.
CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR ECM .
Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(B134) No. 48 - Engine ground:

(B134) No. 47 - Engine ground:

(B134) No. 63 - Engine ground:

(E159) No. 2 - Engine ground:

(E159) No. 10 - Engine ground:

Is the resistance less than 5 Ω?

Yes: Go to 4.

No: Repair the following item.
- Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and engine ground
- Poor contact of coupling connector
CHECK REAR OXYGEN SENSOR .
Check the rear oxygen sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>REAR OXYGEN SENSOR>INSPECTION .

Is the check result OK?

Yes: Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.

No: Replace the rear oxygen sensor. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>REAR OXYGEN SENSOR .
