If this DTC is stored, check the output voltage of the heated oxygen sensor by entering the following menus on the GTS: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / O2S B1S1.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the heated oxygen sensor to optimize the air fuel mixture with closed loop fuel control. This control helps decrease exhaust emissions by providing the catalyst with a nearly stoichiometric mixture. The sensor detects the oxygen level in the exhaust gas and the ECM uses this data to control the air fuel ratio. The sensor output voltage range is from 0 V to 1 V. If the signal voltage is less than 0.45 V, the air fuel ratio is lean. If the signal voltage is more than 0.45 V, the air fuel ratio is rich. If the sensor does not indicate rich at least once despite the conditions for the closed loop fuel control being met and the specified time period has passed, the ECM will conclude that the closed loop fuel control is malfunctioning. The ECM will illuminate the MIL and a DTC is stored.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on [A].
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 40°C (104°F) or higher [B].
Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h (24 mph) or more for 4 minutes or more [C].
- CAUTION:
-
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [D].
Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- ·
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
·If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0134.
Check the DTC judgment result.
GTS Display | Description |
---|---|
NORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System normal |
ABNORMAL | ·

Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit |
- HINT:
- ·
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
·If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
·If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [C] through [D] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
- HINT:
- ·
Change the fuel injection volume using the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor function provided in the Active Test and monitor the heated oxygen sensor output voltage. If the sensor output voltage does not change (almost no reaction) while performing the Active Test, the sensor may be malfunctioning.

·Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
