Lexus NX: Check For Intermittent Problems

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

HINT:

Inspect the vehicle ECM using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the Techstream when the ECM is in check mode. In check mode, the ECM uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.

  1. Clear the DTCs.

DESCRIPTION HINT: Although the DTC titles say oxygen sensor, these DTCs relate to the air fuel ratio sensor. The air fuel ratio sensor generates voltage* that corresponds to the actual air fuel ratio. This sensor voltage is used to provide the ECM with feedback so that it can control the air fuel ra
