1 to Ground near 5 V
2 to Battery positive (+) Battery voltage (+)

Switch the ignition Off.

If the specified values were obtained:

-- Replace the Secondary Air Injection Sensor (AIR) 1 -G609,-.

If specified values were Not obtained:

Checking wiring 

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair Information.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.

If the specification was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open circuit, high resistance, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+) or Ground.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair Information.

-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
