Code No. P2252: Oxygen Sensor Offset Circuit Low Voltage <Vehicles for South Africa>


OPERATION



  • Check code No. P0131: oxygen sensor circuit low voltage (Refer to ).

FUNCTION



  • The engine-ECU watches and checks whether the offset voltage of the oxygen sensor is normal or not.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Condition
  • More than 2 seconds have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed.
Judgement Criterion
  • Oxygen sensor offset voltage is less than 0.4 V for 2 seconds.
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
  • None

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed oxygen sensor
  • Short circuit in oxygen sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Connector check: C-21 oxygen sensor connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 2. Check oxygen sensor itself.

  • Oxygen sensor check (Refer to ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3 .
Replace the oxygen sensor.

STEP 3. Perform voltage measurement at C-21 oxygen sensor connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 4 and earth.
OK: 0.4 - 0.6 V

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6 .
Go to Step 4 .

STEP 4. Connector check: B-26 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 5. Check harness between C-21 (terminal No. 4) oxygen sensor connector and B-26 (terminal No. 39) engine-ECU connector.
note Before checking harness, check intermediate connector A-17, and repair if necessary.

  • Check earthing line for short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6 .
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code

  • Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Q. Is the diagnosis code set?
Replace the engine-ECU.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
