STEP 4. Using diagnostic tool, check data list item AE: 
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

CAUTION

To prevent damage to diagnostic tool, always turn the igni-
tion switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connect-
ing or disconnecting diagnostic tool .
(1) Connect diagnostic tool  to the data link connector.
(2) Start the engine and run at idle.
(3) Ensure engine is at running temperature (80

° C or higher).

(4) Set diagnostic tool  to the data reading mode for item AE, 

Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

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

the output voltage should cycle between  0.1 to 0.8 volt.

• Warm engine. When the engine is idling, the output volt-

age should alternate between 0.1 to 0.6 - 1.0 volt.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

NOTE: If data list readings are low or appear slow to cycle 
during check the sensor is likely to be malfuctioning. Ensure 
wiring and connector checks are performed prior to replac-
ing sensor.

Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-14

. 

NO :  Replace the sensor. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Test the EOBD drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− EOBD Drive Cycle − 

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q: Is DTC P0152 set?

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

DTC P0153: Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit Slow Response (bank 2, sensor 1).

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• A voltage corresponding to the oxygen concen-

tration in the exhaust gas is sent to the 
ENGINE-ECU (terminal No. 15) from the output 
terminal (terminal No. 1) of the left bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front).

• Terminal No. 2 of the left bank heated oxygen 

sensor (front) is grounded with ENGINE-ECU 
(terminal No. 14).

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The left 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 
ENGINE-ECU.

• When the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) 

begins to deteriorate, the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor signal response becomes poor.

• The ENGINE-ECU forcibly varies the air/fuel mix-

ture to make it leaner and richer, and checks the 
response speed of the left bank heated oxygen 
sensor (front). In addition, the ENGINE-ECU also 
checks for an open circuit in the left bank heated 
oxygen sensor (front) output line.

.

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Check Conditions

• Engine speed between 1320 and 3200rpm.

Judgment Criteria

• MIL is activated after 2 Drive cycles.

• No limp home.

.

EOBD DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

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

• Left bank heated oxygen sensor (front) deterio-

rated.
