DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connectors from ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.
  3. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    (B135) No. 8 - (E24) No. 3: 

    (B135) No. 20 - (E24) No. 4: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step . Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
2 CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT. 
Check for poor contact of ECM and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.
Is there poor contact of ECM or front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector? Repair the poor contact of ECM or front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector. Replace the front oxygen (A/F) sensor. Refer to FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR .
