COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The front heated oxygen sensor is placed into the exhaust manifold. It detects the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas compared to the outside air. The front heated oxygen sensor has a closed- end tube made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates voltage from approximately 1 V in richer conditions to 0 V in leaner conditions. The front heated oxygen sensor signal is sent to the ECM. The ECM adjusts the injection pulse duration to achieve the ideal air-fuel ratio. The ideal air-fuel ratio occurs near the radical change from 1 V to 0 V.




CONSULT REFERENCE VALUE IN DATA MONITOR MODE
Specification data are reference values.




ECM TERMINALS AND REFERENCE VALUE
Specification data are reference values, and are measured between each terminal and (26) (ECM ground).







ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS LOGIC
To judge the malfunction of front heated oxygen sensor, this diagnosis measures response time of front heated oxygen sensor signal. The time is compensated by engine operating (speed and load), fuel feedback control constant, and front heated oxygen sensor temperature index. Judgment is based on whether the compensated time (front heated oxygen sensor cycling time index) is inordinately long or not.




DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CAUTION: Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE: If "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE" has just been completed, always turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

TESTING CONDITION:
- Always perform the test at a temperature above -10 °C (14 °F).
- Before performing following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 11 V at idle.
- Never raise engine speed above 3,600 rpm (A/T), 4,000 rpm (M/T) during the "DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE". If the engine speed limit is exceeded, retry the procedure from step 5.







With Consult
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Stop engine and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and select "FR O2 SEN-B1 (-B2) P0133 (P0153)" of "FRONT O2 SENSOR" in "DTC WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT.
4. Let it idle for at least 3 minutes.
5. Touch "START".
6. When the following conditions are met, "TESTING" will be displayed on the CONSULT screen. Maintain the conditions continuously until "TESTING" changes to "COMPLETED". (It will take approximately 20 seconds.)
Engine speed: 1,200 - 2,800 rpm (A/T models) 1,800 - 3,100 rpm (M/T models)
Vehicle speed: 80 - 120 KPH (50 - 75 MPH)
B/FUEL SCHDL: 1.5 - 4.5 msec (A/T models) 1.3 - 4.5 msec (M/T models)
Selector lever: Suitable position
If "TESTING" is not displayed after 5 minutes, retry from step 2.
7. Make sure that "OK" is displayed after touching "SELF DIAG RESULTS". If "NG" is displayed, refer to "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE".

OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the front heated oxygen sensor circuit. During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.

Without Consult
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Set voltmeter probes between ECM terminal (50) RH, (51) LH (sensor signal) and ground.
3. Check the following with engine speed held at 2,000 rpm constant under no load.
- Malfunction indicator lamp goes on more than 5 times within 10 seconds in Diagnostic Test Mode II (FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR MONITOR).
4. If NG, go to "DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE".

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE




COMPONENT INSPECTION
Check resistance between terminals (3) and (1).
Resistance: 2.3 - 4.3 Ohm at 25 °C (77 °F)
Check continuity between terminals (2) and (1), (3) and (2).
Continuity should not exist.
If NG, replace the front heated oxygen sensor.

CAUTION: Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.





With Consult
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Select "MAN U TRIG" and "HI SPEED" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT, and select "FR O2 SEN-B1 (-B2)" and "FR O2 MNTR-B1 (-B2)".
3. Hold engine speed at 2,000 rpm under no load during the following steps.
4. Touch "RECORD" on CONSULT screen.




5. Check the following.
- "FR O2 MNTR-B1 (-B2)" in "DATA MONITOR" mode changes from "RICH" to "LEAN" to "RICH" 5 times in 10 seconds.
5 times (cycles) are counted as shown below:
cycle | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
FR O2 MNTR-B1 R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R-L-R
R = "FR O2 MNTR-B1 (-B2)", "RICH"
L = "FR O2 MNTR-B1 (-B2)", "LEAN"
- "FR O2 SEN-B1 (-B2)" voltage goes above 0.6 V at least once.
- "FR O2 SEN-B1 (-B2)" voltage goes below 0.35 V at least once.
- The voltage never exceeds 1.0 V.

CAUTION: Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 in) onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
