3. Start the engine.
4. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0135 and/or P0155* indicated?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Intermittent failure, the 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, and the ECM/PCM.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Check these fuses:
- No. 19 FI ECU (ECM/PCM) (40 A) fuse in the under-hood 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, and the fuses, then go to step 23.
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 ohm at room temperature?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Go to step 22.
9. At the sensor side, 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. At the sensor side, 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 ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
13. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A7 (A6)* and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/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 ECM/PCM connector terminal A7 (A6)* and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 16.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A7 (A6) *) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 23.
16. Remove the left kick panel, then remove the A/F sensor relay (E) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
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 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, then go to step 23.
19. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).
20. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal E4 and A/F sensor relay 4P connector terminal No. 3.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 21.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E4) and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 23.
21. Check the A/F sensor relay.
Is the A/F sensor relay OK?
YES - Go to step 29.
NO - Replace the A/F sensor relay, 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 ECM/PCM with the HDS.
26. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0135 and/or P0155* indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.
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. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 27, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
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, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.
29. Reconnect all connectors.
30. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
31. Start the engine.
32. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0135 and/or P0155* indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay, and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO - Go to step 33.
33. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0135 and/or P0155* in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 32, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
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, and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.
