?1.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?2.
Clear the DTC with the HDS.


?3.
Start the engine.

?4.
Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.

?5.
Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2A01 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
DTC Description
OBD STATUS
P2A01 Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) Circuit Range/Performance Problem
  

Does the HDS indicate FAILED?

     
YES
     
     
     
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
     
NO
     
     
     
If the HDS indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the PCM. If the on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the on-board snapshot. If the HDS indicates EXECUTING, keep idling until a result comes on. If the HDS indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 1-4 and recheck.?

?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector

?3.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

?4.
Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

Determine possible failure area (short in SO2 line, short in SO2SG line)
?1.
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
Test point 1
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (male terminals) No. 1:
Test point 2
Body ground


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
Go to step 4.
     
NO
     
     
     
Go to step 5.
4.
Shorted wire check (SO2 line):

Shorted wire check (SO2 line)
?1.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.


?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector C (51P)

?3.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
Test point 1
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (male terminals) No. 1:
Test point 2
Body ground


Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
Repair a short in the SO2 wire between the PCM (C38) and secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).?
     
NO
     
     
     
The SO2 wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P2A01 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
5.
Shorted wire check (SO2SG line):

Shorted wire check (SO2SG line)
?1.
Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.


?2.
Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector C (51P)

?3.
Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition
Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
 
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector: disconnected
 
PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
Test point 1
Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) 4P connector (male terminals) No. 2:

Is there continuity?

     
YES
     
     
     
Repair a short in the SO2SG wire between the PCM (C39) and secondary HO2S (Sensor 2).?
     
NO
     
     
     
The SO2SG wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P2A01 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
