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, and the PCM.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Check the No.9 LAF (A/F SENSOR) (15 A) fuse in the under-hood subfuse box.
Is the fuse blown?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the A/F sensors, A/F sensor relay and the fuse, then go to step 25.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Disconnect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector.
8. At the sensor side, measure resistance between the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminals No.1 and No.2.
Is there continuity?
Is there 2.5 - 3.2 Ohms at room temperature?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Go to step 23.
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 23.
NO - Go to step 10.
10. At the sensor side, check for continuity between the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminals No.1 and No.3, and No.4, No.6, No.7, and No.8 individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 23.
NO - Go to step 11.
11. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
12. Disconnect PCM connector C (44P).
13. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals C6 (C8)* and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the PCM (C6 (C8)*) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 24.
NO - Go to step 14.
14. Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminal No.2 to body round with a jumper wire.
15. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal C6 (C8)* and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 16.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the PCM (C7 (C8)*) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 24.
16. Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 8P connector terminal No.1 to body ground with a jumper wire.
17. Remove the A/F sensor relay (A).
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 24.
19. Disconnect PCM connector A (44P).
20. Connect A/F sensor relay 4P connector terminal No.3 to body ground with a jumper wire.
21. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminal A21 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 22.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the PCM (A21) and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 24.
22. Test the A/F sensor relay.
Is the A/F sensor relay OK?
YES - Go to step 30.
NO - Replace the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 24.
23. Replace A/F sensor (Sensor 1).
24. Reconnect all connectors.
25. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
26. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
27. Do the PCM idle learn procedure.
28. 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, 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 29.
29. 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, and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 25 and recheck.
30. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM.
31. 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, 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.
