Right Bank Downstream HO2S Heater Failure:






Trouble Code Number
- Scan tool 125
- General scan tool P0161
- MIL 21

Fault Message
- Right bank Downstream HO2S Heater Failure

Background
- The PCM continues to monitor this system after the key is OFF.
- The PCM waits some periods to allow the heated oxygen sensors to cool.
- Once the PCM calculates that the heated oxygen sensor is cooled, it energizes the MFI relay (ASD relay) and tests for the heated oxygen sensor operation.

Range of Check
- 5 seconds or more after turning the ignition switch to OFF.
- Battery positive voltage: 10 V or more
- The heated oxygen sensor output line voltage rises by 0.49 V or more within 144 seconds after turning the ignition switch to OFF.
- The initial rise of the output line voltage is less than 1.57 V.

Set Condition
- Right bank downstream heated oxygen sensor circuit does not show the appropriate decrease of voltage during the test.

Probable Cause
- Right bank downstream heated oxygen sensor heater open circuit
- Wiring harness and connectors failed
