The heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time
between rich and lean than the air fuel
ratio (A/F) sensor 1. The oxy-
gen storage capacity of the three way catalyst (manifold) causes the
longer switching time. To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen
sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the maximum voltage of the sensor
is sufficiently high during various driving conditions such as fuel cut.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F)
sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2.
A three way catalyst (manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity
will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2.
As oxygen storage capacity decr
eases, the heated oxygen sensor 2
switching frequency will increase.
When the frequency ratio of A/F sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor
2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst (mani-
fold) malfunction is diagnosed.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.INSPECTION START
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
Will CONSULT-III be used?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 6.
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-I
WITH CONSULT-III
TESTING CONDITION:
Do not maintain engine speed for mo re than the specified minutes below.
1. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
6. Let engine idle for 1 minute.
7. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
8. Check that “COOLAN TEMP/S” indicates more than 70 °C (158 °F).
If not, warm up engine and go to next step when “COOLAN TEMP/S” indication reaches to 70°C (158 °F).
9. Open engine hood.
10. Select “DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION” then “SRT WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
11. Rev engine between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm and hold it for 3 consecutive minutes then release the acceler-
ator pedal completely.

NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand s
upporting transmission surface. When using a differ-
ent type of engine stand, note the difference in the steps, etc.
1. Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to EM-98, "
Exploded View".
2. Remove crankshaft pulley. Refer to EM-96, "
FRONT OIL SEAL : Removal and Installation".
NOTE:
The drive plate is fixed with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10119200 (J-49277)]. Loosen the crankshaft pul-
ley mounting bolts before installing the engine stand.
3. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to a widely used engine stand.  Fix crankshaft with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10119200 (J-49277)]. Loosen drive plate mounting bolt
with power tool.
 Check for deformation or damage of drive plate. Refer to EM-115, "
Inspection".
NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you us e a widely used engine stand holding the surface, to
which transmission is installed.
4. Remove pilot converter using the pilot bushing puller (commercial service tool), if necessary.
5. Lift the engine with hoist to inst all it onto the widely used engine stand.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [240 kg (529 lb) or more] large enough for supporting
the engine weight.
 If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
- Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-30, "
Exploded View".
- Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to EM-48, "
Exploded View".
- Remove ignition coil. Refer to EM-29, "
Exploded View".
- Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-33, "
Exploded View".
- Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-40, "
Exploded View".
- Other removable brackets. NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can hold mating surface of transmission with drive plate
removed.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hang ing chains, check the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
6. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Draining".

5. Install the oil pressure gauge [SST: ST25051001 (J25695-1)] (A)and hose [SST: ST25052000 (J25695-2)] (B).
6. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
7. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load. Refer to LU-17, "
EngineOilPressure".
CAUTION:
If the difference is extreme, check the oil passages and oil pump for leaks and blockages.
8. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and engine.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to the specification. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
ucts and Sealants".
c. After warming up engine, make sure there is no leakage of engine oil with engine running.
DrainingINFOID:0000000006289617
WARNING:
 Be careful not to burn yourself, as th e engine and engine oil may be hot.
 Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin
contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as
possible.
1. Warm up the engine, and check for any oil leaks.
2. Stop the engine and wait for at least 10 minutes.
3. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap to drain the old oil.
RefillingINFOID:0000000006289618
1. Install drain plug with new washer. CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
2. Refill with new engine oil. Engine oil specification and viscosity:
Refer to MA-10, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
 The refill capacity depends on the engine oi l temperature and drain time. Use these specifica-
tions for reference only.
 Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper amount of engine oil in engine.
3. Warm up the engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for engine oil leakage.
4. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
5. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
