  • SAE Code: P2A00
  • DTC for Mexico Models: Applies (Mexico models only)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

After the engine is warmed up, the ECM performs air fuel ratio feedback control to maintain the air fuel ratio at the stoichiometric level. In addition, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds after preconditions are met in order to measure the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) response rate. During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM forcibly increases and decreases the injection volume by a certain amount, based on the stoichiometric air fuel ratio learned during normal air fuel ratio control, and measures the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) response rate. The ECM receives a signal from the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) while performing active air fuel ratio control and uses it to calculate the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) response rate deterioration level.

If the value for the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) response rate deterioration level is less than the threshold, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction and stores the DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

HINT:

  • DTC P2A0026 may be also stored when the air fuel ratio is stuck at rich or lean.
  • A low air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) voltage could be caused by a rich air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run rich.
  • A high air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) voltage could be caused by a lean air fuel mixture. Check for conditions that would cause the engine to run lean.
  • Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
  • Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
  • Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
