MONITOR DESCRIPTION

These DTCs are output when there is an open or short in the A/F sensor circuit, or if A/F sensor output drops.
To detect these problems, the voltage of the A/F sensor is monitored when turning the ignition switch to ON, and the admittance (admittance is an electrical term that indicates the ease of flow of current) is checked while driving. If the voltage of the A/F sensor is between 0.6 V and 4.5 V, it is considered normal. If the voltage is outside of the specified range, or the admittance is less than the standard value, the ECM will determine that there is a malfunction in the A/F sensor. If the same malfunction is detected in the next driving cycle, the MIL is illuminated and a DTC is stored.
The Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor varies its output voltage in proportion to the air-fuel ratio. If the A/F sensor impedance (alternating current resistance) or output voltage deviates greatly from the standard range, the ECM determines that there is an open or short in the A/F sensor circuit.
