The fault is recognized when the I component of the trim
controller is greater than -4 %.
Potential problem source(s):
- Collateral fault
- Oxygen sensor before catalytic converter defective
- Oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter defective
- Defect in wiring harness to oxygen sensor behind catalytic
converter
- Leak in exhaust/muffler assembly

Action in service
- If other diagnostic fault codes are logged, repair these
faults first
- Conduct system test for interchanged oxygen sensors in
wrong mutual positions
- Check wiring harness to oxygen sensors
- Check exhaust/muffler system forward of oxygen sensor
behind catalytic converter for leaks
- Replace pre-catalyst oxygen sensor
