OPERATION
  • Power is supplied to the heater power terminal (terminal No. 1) of the Cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) connector from the engine control relay (terminal No. 1).
  • The heater (terminal No. 3) of the Cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) connector is controlled by the power transistor in the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 25).
FUNCTION
  • The power supply to the cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) heater is controlled by the ON/OFF control of the power transistor in the engine-A/T-ECU.
  • Heating the cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) heater enables the cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) to provide good response even when the exhaust emission temperature is low.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Conditions
  • 60 seconds have elapsed since the previous monitoring started.
  • Engine coolant temperature is 20°C or higher.
  • While cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) heater is on.
  • Battery positive voltage is 11 - 16 V.
Judgment Criterion
  • Cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) heater current has continued to be 0.16 A or lower, or 7.5 A or higher for 4 seconds.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) heater
  • Open/short circuit in cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
