Faulty Signal
Checking Compression
- Carry out a compression test.
- Is compression OK?
If reading is OK:
^ Proceed to test step below.
If reading is incorrect:
^ Remedy as necessary.
^ Then proceed to Verification section below.
Checking For Air Leakage In The Intake System
- Check for air leakage.
- Is there any air leakage?
No:
^ Proceed to tset step below.
Yes:
^ Remedy as necessary.
^ Then proceed to Verification section below.
Checking For Air Leakage In The Exhaust System
- Check for air leakage.
- Is there any air leakage?
No:
^ Proceed to test step below.
Yes:
^ Remedy as necessary.
^ Then proceed to Verification section below.
Checking Fuel And Residual Pressure
- Check fuel and residual pressure.
- Is pressure OK?
Yes:
^ Proceed to test step below.
No:
^ Remedy as necessary.
^ Then proceed to Verification section below.
Checking The Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor
- Remove throttle pulley cover.
- Ignition on.
- Clamp hose between canister purge (CP) valve and intake manifold with a hose clip. 115 8957. An evaporative emission (EVAP) system diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be stored.
- Go into scrolling values list.
- Start engine and idle it until the rear heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) starts operating.
- The rear heated oxygen sensor starts operating just after rear sensor heating starts.
- Remove multi-nipple plugs.
- The voltage across the rear sensor should drop to 0 Volts.
- Wait for approx. 30 seconds, then reinstall plugs on multi-nipple.
- The voltage across the rear sensor should rise to approx. 0.8 Volts.
Yes:
^ Try a new front heated oxygen sensor.
^ Then proceed to Verification section below.
No:
^ Try a new rear heated oxygen sensor.
^ Then proceed to Verification section below.
Verification
- After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied as follows.
- Ignition off.
- Heated oxygen sensor connected.
- Go into diagnostic test menu.
- Test drive car.
- Watch EFI-436, wait until the status of EFI-436 goes over to tested.
- Read diagnostic trouble codes.
- If EFI-436 is stored it should have the status intermittent fault.
If reading is OK:
^ Fault corrected
If reading is incorrect:
^ Proceed to test step below.
Fault-tracing Information
- The verification result shows that the fault persists.
- Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes:
^ Fault not corrected
No:
^ Return to Checking Compression section above.
