Acura RL. Manual - part 98

Malfunction Threshold 

The VLBLB1 voltage is 4.7 V or more for at least 5 seconds. 

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for illuminating the MIL 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the 
PCM memory. 

Conditions for clearing the MIL 

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the 
diagnostic runs. 

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by 
disconnecting the battery.

Voltage) 

General Description 

The front air/fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) is installed in the exhaust manifold and detects 
oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The front A/F sensor transmits a signal to the powertrain control module 
(PCM). The PCM controls fuel injection duration by comparing the target air/fuel ratio with the front A/F 
sensor signal. The sensor includes the VS cell, the pump cell, the atmospheric reference cavity, the diffusion 
layer, and the heater, and it enables overall feedback control. 

The front A/F sensor (bank 1, sensor 1) has a built-in LABEL resistance to regulate the differences of the 
sensor characteristics. The PCM reads the resistance to regulate the difference properly. If the LABEL 
resistance (VLBLB2 signal voltage) is a set value or less, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.
