(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0153 set?

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

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The PCM effects air/fuel ratio feedback control in

accordance with the signals from the left bank
heater oxygen sensor (front).

• If the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) has

deteriorated, corrections will be made by the
heated oxygen sensor (rear).

• DTC P0154 is stored when abnormality of the

air/fuel ratio feedback control is detected.

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

age does not cross 0.5 volt within specified
period.

MONITOR EXECUTION

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

Check Conditions

• 20 seconds or more have passed since the start-

ing sequence was completed.

• Engine coolant temperature is higher than 76°C

(169

° F).

• Engine speed is higher than 1,200 r/min.

• Volumetric efficiency is higher than 30 percent

and lower than 95 percent.

• Throttle position sensor output voltage is lower

than 4 volts.

• Except while fuel is being shut off.

• Monitoring time: 30 seconds.

Judgment Criteria

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) deterio-

rated.

• Open circuit in left bank heated oxygen sensor

(front) output line.

• Open circuit in left black heated oxygen sensor

(front) ground line.

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear) deterio-

rated.
NOTE: When the left bank heated oxygen sensor
(front) begins to deteriorate, the heated oxygen
sensor output voltage will deviate from the volt-
age when the sensor was new (normally 0.5 volt
at stoichiometric ratio). This deviation will be cor-
rected by the left bank heated oxygen sensor
(rear).

If the left bank heated oxygen sensor (rear)
responds poorly because it has deteriorated, it
will improperly correct the left bank heated oxy-
gen sensor (front). Thus, even when closed loop
control is being effected, the fluctuation of the left
bank heated oxygen sensor (front) output voltage
decreases, without intersecting with 0.5 volt. As a
result, there is a possibility of DTC P0154 becom-
ing registered.

• Connector damage.

• Harness damage in injector circuit.

• Injector failed.

• PCM failed.

• Exhaust leaks.

• Incurrect fuel pressure.

• Intake system vacuum leak.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991911: Main Harness B

• MB991316: Test Harness

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 59:
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 2 (left rear).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

59, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 2 (left rear).

• Warm up the engine. When the engine is revved, the

output voltage should repeat 0 volt and 0.6 to 1.0 volt
alternately.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Refer to DTC P0156
