DTC    B1418/18    Exhaust Gas Sensor Circuit

for Preparation Click here


DESCRIPTION

The exhaust gas sensor, which is installed on the front of the condenser, automatically changes to FRESH, FRESH / RECIRCULATION, or RECIRCULATION. The exhaust gas sensor detects CO and HC in emission gas and transmits signals to the A/C amplifier.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.INSPECT FUSE (LH-IG)

  1. Remove the LH-IG fuse from the cowl side junction block LH.

  1. Measure the resistance of the fuse.

    Standard resistance:

    Tester Item
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    LH-IG fuse
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω



NG
CHECK FOR SHORT IN ALL HARNESSES AND COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO FUSE
OK


2.READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and push the intelligent tester main switch on.

  1. Select the item below in the Data List, and read the display on the intelligent tester.

3.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (EXHAUST GAS SENSOR - BODY GROUND)
E107005E05

  1. Disconnect the B10 exhaust gas sensor connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B10-6 (E) - Body ground
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK


4.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (EXHAUST GAS SENSOR - BATTERY)
E107005E06

  1. Disconnect the B10 exhaust gas sensor connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B10-3 (IG) - Body ground
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		10 to 14 V
    Engine switch off
    		Below 1 V



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK


5.INSPECT EXHAUST GAS SENSOR
E107006E01

  1. Remove the exhaust gas sensor.

  1. After applying battery voltage between terminals 3 (IG) and 6 (E) for more than 30 seconds, measure the resistance between terminals 1 (SG) and 2 (DGS).

  1. Measure the resistance of the sensor.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    1 (SG) - 2 (DGS)
    		10 to 35°C
    (50 to 95°F)
    		5 to 100 kΩ

    HINT:
    When the sensor is exposed to the exhaust gas, the resistance decreases.



NG
REPLACE EXHAUST GAS SENSOR
OK


6.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (EXHAUST GAS SENSOR - A/C AMPLIFIER)
E107007E03

  1. Disconnect the B10 exhaust gas sensor connector.

  1. Disconnect the L52 A/C amplifier connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B10-1 (SG) - L52-39 (SG-6)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    B10-2 (DGS) - L52-34 (DGS)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    L52-39 (SG-6) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    L52-34 (DGS) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK
