To obtain a high purification rate of the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three way catalytic
converter is used, For the most efficient use of the three way catalytic converter, the air-fuel ratio must be precisely
controlled so that itis always close to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The A/F sensor has a characteristic of
providing output voltage* approximately proportional to the existing air-fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage is
used to provide for the ECM with feedback to control the air-fuel ratio,
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and

The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element, The heater is controlled by the ECM.

control the proper fuel injection timing immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to perform
When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater to heat the
sensor for the accurate oxygen concentration detection,
+ The voltage value changes inside the ECM only.
HINT:
- This DTC is related to the A/F sensor, although the caption is the oxygen sensor.
~ The ECM provides a pulse to control current through the heater, The heated oxygen sensor heater circuit uses a
relay on the B+ side of the circuit

Referto Checking Monitor Status
The ECM uses the Air-Fuel Ratio sensor (A/F sensor) information to regulate the air-fuel ratio close to the
stoichiometric ratio, This maximizes the catalytic converter's ability to purify exhaust gases. The sensor detects
oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and sends this signal to the ECM
The inner surface of the sensor element is exposed to outside air, The outer surface of the sensor element is
exposed to exhaust gases, The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an integrated
heating element. The zirconia element generates a smalll voltage when there is a large difference in the oxygen
concentrations of the exhaust and the outside ait. The platinum coating amplifies the voltage generation. When
heated, the sensor becomes very efficient. Ifthe temperature of the exhaust is low, the sensor will not generate
useful voltage signals without supplemental heating, The ECM regulates the supplemental heating using a duty-
cycle approach to regulate the average current in the heater element. if the heater current is out of the normal range
the sensor's output signals will be inaccurate and the ECM cannot regulate the air-fuel ratio properly.
When the heater current is out of the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the A/F
sensor heater circuit and sets a DTC.

HINT: Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD Il scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected, When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if
the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and
other data from the time the malfunction occurred
