Code No. P0141: Oxygen Sensor Heater (Rear) System <SOHC>

OPERATION

Power is supplied to the heater power terminal (terminal No. 1) of the oxygen sensor (rear) connector from the engine control relay (terminal No. 2).

The heater (terminal No. 1) of the oxygen sensor (rear) connector is controlled by the power transistor in the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 26).

function

The power supply to the oxygen sensor heater (rear) is controlled by the ON/OFF control of the power transistor in the engine-A/T-ECU.

Heating the oxygen sensor heater (rear) enables the oxygen sensor to provide good response even when the exhaust emission temperature is low.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

Engine coolant temperature approximately 20 °C or more.

Oxygen sensor heater: ON

Engine speed of 50 r/min or more.

A/C relay: OFF

Radiator fan: OFF

Battery voltage 11 - 16 V

Judgment Criterion

Heater current of oxygen sensor heater 0.2 A or less or 3.5 A or more for 4 seconds.

PROBABLE CAUSE

Failed oxygen sensor heater (rear)

Open/short circuit in oxygen sensor (rear) circuit or loose connector contact

Failed engine-A/T-ECU

.
NO: Replace oxygen (rear) sensor.

STEP 3. Perform voltage measurement at C-31 oxygen sensor (rear) connector.

Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.

Ignition switch: ON

Voltage between terminal No. 2 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 5

.
NO: Go to Step 4

STEP 4. Connector check: B-17X engine control relay connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES:

Check intermediate connector C-17 and repair if necessary. If intermediate connector is normal, check and repair harness between C-31 (terminal No. 2) oxygen sensor (rear) connector and B-17X (terminal No. 1) engine control relay connector.

Check power supply line for open/short circuit.

NO: Repair.

STEP 5. Perform voltage measurement at C-112 engine-A/T-ECU connector.

Measure engine-A/T-ECU terminal voltage.

Ignition switch: ON

Voltage between terminal No. 26 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 8

.
NO: Go to Step 6

STEP 6. Connector check: C-112 engine-A/T-ECU connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 7

.
NO: Repair.

STEP 7. Check harness between C-31 (terminal No. 1) oxygen sensor connector and C-112 (terminal No. 26) engine-A/T-ECU connector.

Check earthing line for open/short circuit.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Replace engine-A/T-ECU.
NO: Repair.

STEP 8. Connector check: C-112 engine-A/T-ECU connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 9

.
NO: Repair.

STEP 9. Check harness between C-31 (terminal No. 2) oxygen sensor connector and B-17X (terminal No. 1) engine control relay connector.

NOTE: Before checking harness, check intermediate connector C-17, and repair if necessary.

Check power supply line for damage.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 10

.
NO: Repair.

STEP 10. Check harness between C-31 (terminal No. 1) oxygen sensor connector and C-112 (terminal No. 26) engine-A/T-ECU connector.

Check earthing line for damage.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES: Go to Step 11

.
NO: Repair.

STEP 11. Check the trouble symptoms.

Q: Does trouble symptom persist?

YES: Replace engine-A/T-ECU.
NO: Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points
