STEP 14. Check the right bank heated oxygen sensor 
(front).
(1) Disconnect the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

connector B-27 and connect test harness special tool, 
MD998464, to the connector on the right bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front) side.

(2) Warm up the engine until engine coolant 80

°C (176°F) or 

higher.

CAUTION

Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; incor-
rect connection can damage the right bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front).

(3) Use the jumper wires to connect terminal No. 1 (red clip) to 

the positive battery terminal and terminal No. 3 (blue clip) to 
the negative battery terminal.

(4) Connect a digital volt meter between terminal No. 2 (black 

clip) and terminal No. 4 (white clip).

(5) While repeatedly revving the engine, measure the right 

bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage.

Standard value: 0.6 

− 1.0 volt

Q: Is the voltage between 0.6 and 1.0 volt?

YES : Replace the ECM or PCM. Then go to Step 15.
NO :  Replace the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front). 

Then go to Step 15.

STEP 15. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13B-7

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0130 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <3.0L>

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the ECM (ter-
minal No. 72) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 72) 
<A/T> from the output terminal (terminal No. 4) of 
the right bank heated oxygen sensor (front).

• Terminal No. 2 of the right bank heated oxygen 

sensor (front) is grounded with ECM (terminal 
No. 49) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 57) <A/T>.

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

detects the concentration of oxygen in the 
exhaust gas; it converts those data to voltage, 
and inputs the resulting signals to the ECM 
<M/T> or PCM <A/T>.

• When the right bank heated oxygen sensor 

(front) begins to deteriorate, the heated oxygen 
sensor signal response becomes poor.

• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> forcibly varies 

the air/fuel mixture to make it leaner and richer, 
and checks the response speed of the right bank 
heated oxygen sensor (front). In addition, the 
ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> also checks for an 
open circuit in the right bank heated oxygen sen-
sor (front) output line.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Right bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output volt-

age stays low when air/fuel ratio is forced to be 
rich. The above procedure is repeated when oxy-
gen sensor is inactive.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous
