6. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
7. Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector.
8. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).




9. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A28 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A28) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 11.

NO - Go to step 10.

10. Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1).
11. Reconnect all connectors.
12. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
13. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
14. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
15. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P2252 indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the ECM/PCM. If the connector and terminal fits are OK, go to step 17.

NO - If Temporary DTC or DTC P2252 is not indicated, or if any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to step 16.

16. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2252 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

17. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
18. Start the engine.
19. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P2252 indicated?

YES - If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to step 18. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - If Temporary DTC or DTC P2252 is not indicated, or if any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to step 20.

20. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2252 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs was indicated on step 19, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, go to step 1. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to step 18. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, let the engine idle until a result comes on.
