DTC P2A01 (2018 2019)

DTC P2A01  : Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) Circuit Range/Performance Problem

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information .

DTC (PGM-FI)

1. Problem verification

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -4. Start the engine.

   -5. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 min -1 (rpm) without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.

   -6. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2A01 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

   DTC Description	OBD STATUS
   P2A01 Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) Circuit Range/Performance Problem

   Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

   YES 

   The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

   NO 

   If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot . If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep idling until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-5 and recheck.

2. Determine possible failure area (Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2), others)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector

   -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

   -4. Check the parameter (s) below with the HDS.

   Signal	Threshold		Current conditions
   	Values	Unit	Values	Unit
   HO2S S2	Less than 1.26	V

   Do the current condition (s) match the threshold?

   YES 

   Go to step 3.

   NO 

   Replace secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) .

3. Determine possible failure area (short in SO2 line, short in SO2SG line)

   -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

   -2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
   Test point 1	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Go to step 4.

   NO 

   Go to step 5.

4. Shorted wire check (SO2 line)

   -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector B (51P)

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the SO2 wire between the PCM (B17) and secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).

   NO 

   The SO2 wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM .

5. Shorted wire check (SO2SG line)

   -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

   -2. Disconnect the following connector.

   PCM connector B (51P)

   -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

   Test condition	Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
   	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
   	PCM connector B (51P): disconnected
   Test point 1	Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (female terminals) No. 2:
   Test point 2	Body ground

   Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

   Is there continuity?

   YES 

   Repair a short in the SO2SG wire between the PCM (B40) and secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).

   NO 

   The SO2SG wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM .
