Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual / Engine / 2gr-fks Engine Control / Sfi System / O2 Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 Circuit Short to Ground (P013611,...,P015623)

DESCRIPTION

In order to obtain a high purification rate of the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) components in the exhaust gas, a TWC (Three-Way Catalytic Converter) is used. For the most efficient use of the TWC, the air fuel ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air fuel level. For the purpose of helping the ECM to deliver accurate air fuel ratio control, a heated oxygen sensor is used.

The heated oxygen sensor is located behind the TWC, and detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. Since the sensor is integrated with the heater that heats the sensing portion, it is possible to detect the oxygen concentration even when the intake air volume is low (the exhaust gas temperature is low).

When the air fuel ratio becomes lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is high. The heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM that the post-TWC air fuel ratio is lean (low voltage, i.e. less than 0.45 V).

Conversely, when the air fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric air fuel level, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is low. The heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM that the post-TWC air fuel ratio is rich (high voltage, i.e. higher than 0.45 V). The heated oxygen sensor has the property of changing its output voltage drastically when the air fuel ratio is close to the stoichiometric level.

The ECM uses the supplementary information from the heated oxygen sensor to determine whether the air fuel ratio after the TWC is rich or lean, and adjusts the fuel injection duration accordingly. Thus, if the heated oxygen sensor is working improperly due to internal malfunctions, the ECM is unable to compensate for deviations in the primary air fuel ratio control.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

Active Air fuel Ratio Control

The ECM usually performs air fuel ratio feedback control so that the air fuel ratio sensor output indicates a near stoichiometric air fuel level. This vehicle includes active air fuel ratio control in addition to regular air fuel ratio control. The ECM performs active air fuel ratio control to detect any deterioration in the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and heated oxygen sensor malfunctions (refer to the diagram below).

Active air fuel ratio control is performed for approximately 30 seconds while driving with a warm engine. During active air fuel ratio control, the air fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become lean or rich by the ECM. If the ECM detects a malfunction, a DTC is stored.

Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTCs P013613 and P015613)

While the ECM is performing active air fuel ratio control, the air fuel ratio is forcibly regulated to become rich or lean. If the sensor is not functioning properly, the voltage output variation is small. For example, when the heated oxygen sensor voltage does not increase to 0.71 V or higher during active air fuel ratio control, the ECM determines that the sensor voltage output is abnormal and stores DTC P013613 or P015613.

Open in Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit (DTCs P013617 and P015617)

During active air fuel ratio control, the ECM calculates the Oxygen Storage Capacity (OSC)* of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) by forcibly regulating the air fuel ratio to become rich or lean.

If the heated oxygen sensor has an open circuit, or the voltage output of the sensor noticeably decreases, the OSC indicates an extraordinarily high value. Even if the ECM attempts to continue regulating the air fuel ratio to become rich or lean, the heated oxygen sensor output does not change.

While performing active air fuel ratio control, when the target air fuel ratio is rich and the heated oxygen sensor voltage output is less than 0.21 V (lean), the ECM interprets this as an abnormally low sensor output voltage and stores DTC P013617 or P015617.

HINT:

*: The TWC has the capability to store oxygen. The OSC and the emission purification capacity of the TWC are mutually related. The ECM determines whether the catalyst has deteriorated based on the calculated OSC value.

High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTCs P013611 and P015611 or P013614 and P015614)

During normal air fuel ratio feedback control, there are small variations in the exhaust gas oxygen concentration. In order to continuously monitor the slight variation of the heated oxygen sensor signal while the engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance deviates from the standard range.

*: The effective resistance in an alternating current electrical circuit.

HINT:

  • The impedance cannot be measured using an ohmmeter.
  • DTC P013611 or P015611 indicates the deterioration of the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM stores the DTC by calculating the impedance of the sensor when the typical enabling conditions are satisfied (2 driving cycles).
  • DTC P013614 or P015614 indicates an open or short circuit in the heated oxygen sensor (2 driving cycles). The ECM stores the DTC when the impedance of the sensor exceeds the threshold 15 kΩ.

Extremely High Output Voltage of Heated Oxygen Sensor (DTCs P013615 and P015615)

The ECM continuously monitors the heated oxygen sensor output voltage while the engine is running.

DTC P013615 or P015615 is stored if the heated oxygen sensor voltage output is 1.2 V or higher for 10 seconds or more.

Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor During Fuel-cut (DTCs P013623 and P015623)

The sensor output voltage drops to less than 0.2 V (extremely lean status) immediately when the vehicle decelerates and fuel cut is operating. If the voltage does not drop to less than 0.2 V for 7 seconds or more, the ECM determines that the sensor response has deteriorated, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

Abnormal Voltage Output of Heated Oxygen Sensor During Fuel-cut from Rich Condition (DTCs P013A00 and P013C00)

If the sensor output voltage does not drop from 0.35 to 0.2 V immediately when the vehicle decelerates and fuel cut is operating, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
