Is DTC P0135 and/or P0155* indicated?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay (LAF), and the PCM.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Check these fuses:
- No. 19 OPTION (40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- No. 4 A/F SENSOR (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- No. 23 IGP (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
Are any of the fuses blown?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the A/F sensors, the A/F sensor relay (LAF), and the fuses, then go to step 24.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector.
8. At the sensor side, measure resistance between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.
Is there 2.5 - 3.2 Ohms at room temperature?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Go to step 22.
9. Check for continuity between each terminal at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 22.
NO - Go to step 10.
10. Check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3, No. 4, No. 6, No. 7, and No. 8 individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 22.
NO - Go to step 11.
11. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
12. Disconnect PCM connector A (31P).
13. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A7 (A6)* and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the PCM (A7 (A6)*) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 23.
NO - Go to step 14.
14. Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminal No. 2 to body ground with a jumper wire.
15. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A7 (A6)* and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 16.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the PCM (A7 (A6)*) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 23.
16. Remove the A/F sensor relay (LAF) (A)
17. Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminal No 1 to body ground with a jumper wire
18. Check for continuity between A/F sensor relay (LAF) 4P connector terminal No 2 and body ground
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 19.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the A/F sensor relay (LAF), then go to step 23.
19. Disconnect PCM connector E (31P)
20. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal E4 and A/F sensor relay (LAP) 4P connector terminal No. 4.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 21.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the PCM (E4) and the A/F sensor relay (LAP), then go to step 23.
21. Test the A/F sensor relay (LAF).
Is the A/F sensor relay OK?
YES - Go to step 29.
NO - Replace the A/F sensor relay (LAF), then go to step 23.
22. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1).
23. Reconnect all connectors.
24. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
25. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
26. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.
27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P0135 and/or P0155* is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay (LAF), and the PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - Go to step 28.
28. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0135 and/or P0155* in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay (LAF), and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 26 and recheck.
29. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
30. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P0135 and/or P0155* is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay (LAF), and the PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.
