P2253

P2253 - HO2S Reference Ground Circuit High






General Description
In order to control emissions of the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), mounted on the front side and rear side of catalytic converter, detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The front HO2S signal is used to control air/fuel ratio (closed loop fuel control) and the rear HO2S signal is used to monitor front HO2S and catalyst for proper operation.

DTC Description
ECM sets DTC P2253 if the ECM detects reference ground voltage remains excessively high for a predetermined time (short to battery in reference ground circuit).
