| STEP | CHECK | YES | NO |
1.CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connectors from front oxygen (A/F) sensor.
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal
(E24) No. 2 (+) — Engine ground (−):
Is the voltage 10 V or more?
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0031 A/F / O2 HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW BANK 1 SENSOR 1">Go to Step 2.
Repair the power supply line.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
• Open circuit in harness between A/F, oxygen sensor relay connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
• Poor contact of A/F, oxygen sensor relay connector
• Poor contact of coupling connector
• Malfunction of A/F, oxygen sensor relay
2.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3) Measure the resistance between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector.
Connector & terminal
(B136) No. 5 — (E24) No. 1:
Is the resistance less than 1 ??

Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
• Open circuit in harness between ECM connector and front oxygen (A/F) sensor connector
• Poor contact of coupling connector
3.CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT FOR ECM.
Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B134) No. 3 — Chassis ground:
(B134) No. 4 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 1 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 2 — Chassis ground:
(B136) No. 3 — Chassis ground:
Is the resistance less than 5 ??

Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE:
In this case, repair the following item:
• Open circuit of harness between ECM connector and engine ground
• Poor contact of coupling connector
4.CHECK FRONT OXYGEN (A/F) SENSOR.
Measure the resistance between front oxygen (A/F) sensor terminals.
Terminals
No. 1 — No. 2:
Is the resistance 2 — 3 ??
Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
Replace the front oxygen (A/F) sensor. Front Oxygen (A/F) Sensor">
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect front oxygen (A/F) sensor heater open or short circuit.
The front oxygen (A/F) sensor heater performs duty control, and the output terminal voltage at ON is 0 V, and the output terminal voltage at OFF is the battery voltage.
Judge as NG when the terminal voltage remains Low.
2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

(A) | Battery voltage | (B) | Front oxygen (A/F) sensor heater output voltage | (C) | 128 ms |
(D) | Low error |
3. EXECUTION CONDITION
Secondary Parameters | Execution condition |
Battery voltage | ≥ 10.9 V |
Primary oxygen sensor heater control duty | < 87.5 % |
4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
Always perform the diagnosis continuously.
5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.
Malfunction Criteria | Threshold Value |
Measured primary oxygen sensor heater control voltage | < 1.9 V |
Time Needed for Diagnosis: 1 second
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates as soon as a malfunction occurs.
