*: Calculated by ECM based on the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) output.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

After the engine has been warmed up, the ECM carries out air fuel ratio feedback control and maintains the air fuel ratio at the theoretical ratio. In addition, after all the preconditions have been met, active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds. During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM measures the response of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) by increasing or decreasing a specific injection quantity based on the theoretical air fuel ratio learned during normal air fuel control. The ECM determines whether there is an air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) malfunction at the mid-point of active air fuel ratio control.

If the response of the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) has decreased, DTC P014C00 and P014D00 are output.

If the air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) output timing is delayed, DTC P015A00 and P015B00 are output.

HINT:

  • A low air fuel ratio sensor (sensor 1) current 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) current 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 be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was moving or stationary, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
