OPERATION
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 73) from the oxygen sensor (rear) output terminal (terminal No. 4).
  • The oxygen sensor (rear) (terminal No. 3) is earthed with engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 57).
function
  • The oxygen sensor (rear) converts the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust emission into a voltage signal and inputs the voltage signal to the engine-A/T-ECU.
  • When the air-fuel ratio is richer than the theoretical air-fuel ratio, the oxygen sensor (rear) outputs a voltage of about 1 V. When it is leaner than the theoretical air-fuel ratio, it outputs a voltage of about 0 V.
  • In response to the signal, the engine-A/T-ECU controls the fuel infection amount so that the air-fuel ratio can be equivalent to the theoretical air-fuel ratio.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Condition
  • After 3 or more minutes from when the engine has started up.
  • Engine coolant temperature approximately 80 °C or more.
  • Volumetric efficiency 25% or more.
  • Engine speed of 1,200 r/min or more.
Judgment Criterion
  • When the oxygen sensor output voltage is 0.2 V or less, and a power voltage of 5 V is applied to the oxygen sensor in the engine-A/T-ECU, the sensor output voltage is 4.5 V or more.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed oxygen sensor
  • Open/short circuit in oxygen sensor (rear) circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
