  5. CLEAR THE SELF-LEARNING DATA 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Select "SELF-LEARNING CONT" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Clear the self-learning control coefficient by touching "CLEAR" or "START".
    4. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0171 or P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine?

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    3. Disconnect mass air flow sensor (1) harness connector, and restart and run engine for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
    4. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
    5. Make sure DTC P0102 is displayed.
    6. Erase the DTC memory. Refer to "HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION ".
    7. Make sure DTC P0000 is displayed.
    8. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0171 or P0172 detected? Is it difficult to start engine?

    Yes or No 

    Yes >> Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171, P0172. Refer to "DTC P0171 FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION " or "DTC P0172 FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION ".

    No >> GO TO 6.

  6. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector (1).
      • Air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor (2)
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.

  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E8, F8
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse

    >> Repair or replace harness or connectors.

  8. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between the following terminals. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
      TERMINALS REFERENCE FOR CONTINUITY

      A/F sensor 1 terminal ECM terminal
      1 49
      2 53

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals 49, 53 or A/F sensor 1 terminals 1, 2 and ground.
