Visually/physically inspect the following items:
-Ensure that the HO2S is securely installed.
-Check for corrosion on terminals
-Check for terminal tension ( at the HO2S and at the PCM)
-Check for damaged wiring
-Check the HO2S ground circuit for a good connection
Check front and rear HO2S for connections being reversed. If HO2S connections reversed, switch connections properly.
Was a problem found in any of the above areas?
YES
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
▶ Go to "Exhaust System Inspection" procedure.
Check the exhaust system for an exhaust leak near the engine.
Was an exhaust leak found?
YES
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
▶ Go to "Air Leakage Inspection " procedure.
Visually/physically inspect the following items:
-Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and improper connections.
-Exhaust system between HO2S and Three way catalyst for air leakage
-EVAP system for leakage
-PCV hose for proper installation
Was a problem found in any of the above areas?
YES
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
▶ Go to "Fuel Pressure Inspection" procedure.
Check the fuel for excessive water, alcohol, or other contaminants. Replace contaminated fuel as necessary
Install a fuel pressure gage
Inspect fuel pressure with engine idling at normal operating temperature.
Specification : 338~348kPa(3.45~3.55kg/㎠)
Is the fuel pressure within the specified value?
YES
▶ Go to "Fuel Injector Inspection" procedure as below
NO
▶ Repair as necessary refer to inspection note as below and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
A) Check if fuel line pressure decreases when accelerating quickly.
-If it does, check fuel pump maximum pressure. If pressure is OK, check fuel line and filter for clogging.
B) If fuel pressure is lower than specification : Check for fuel line pressure while pinching fuel return hose.
-If pressure quickly increases, check pressure regulator.
-If pressure gradually increases, check for clogging between fuel pump and pressure regulator. If hose is not clogged, check fuel pump maximum pressure.
C) If fuel pressure is higher than specification : Is fuel line clogged?
-If it is not, replace pressure regulator.
-If it is, replace it.
Ignition "OFF"
Check the fuel injectors for clogging or any restrictions.
Specification : No clogging and restriction.
Is the fuel injector OK?
YES
▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
