OPERATION
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 116) from the cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) output terminal (terminal No. 4).
  • The cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) (terminal No. 2) is earthed with engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 96).
FUNCTION
  • The cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) converts the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust emission into a voltage and inputs the signal to the engine-A/T-ECU.
  • When the air-fuel ratio is richer than the theoretical air-fuel ratio, the cylinder 2, 3 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.
  • Based on this signal, the engine-A/T-ECU corrects the deviation in the signal that is output by the cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (front).
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Conditions
  • Above 3 minutes later after the engine has started up.
  • The engine coolant temperature is approximately 82°C or higher.
  • The engine speed is 1200 r/min or more.
  • The monitoring time is 5 seconds.
Judgment Criteria
  • When the cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage is 0.2 V or less and a power voltage of 5 V is applied to the cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) in the engine-A/T-ECU, the sensor output voltage is 4.5 V or more.
  • To be monitored once per driving cycle.
Check Conditions
  • 2 seconds later after lack of circuit continuity is detected.
  • When the cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) is normally operated.
Judgment Criteria
  • When the air-fuel ratio is rich, the cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (front) output voltage is 0.5 V or more.
  • The cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (rear) output voltage is less than 0.1 V.
  • The maximum and maximum of the cylinder 1, 4 oxygen sensor (rear) output is 0.078 V or less.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear)
  • Open/short circuit in cylinder 2, 3 oxygen sensor (rear) circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
