Resistance Inspection

HO2S Heater (Front and Rear) Resistance inspection

1. Disconnect the HO2S (Front or Rear) connector.

2. Measure the resistance between HO2S terminals C and D using an ohmmeter.
- If not as specified, replace the HO2S.
- If the HO2S heater is okay, but PID value or PCM terminal 94 (Front), 93 (Rear) voltage are out of specification, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Specification
Front: Approx. 5.6 Ohms (California)
Approx. 15.7 Ohms (Except California)
Rear: Approx. 15.7 Ohms

Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Remove the PCM.




2. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) to the PCM as shown.
3. Tighten the connector attaching screw.

Tightening torque
7.9 - 10.7 N.m {80 - 110 kgf.cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in.lbf}

4. Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses by probing the applicable sensor and SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) terminals with ohmmeter leads.
- If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
- If there is no open or short circuit, replace the HO2S.

Open circuit
- Power circuit (HO2S connector terminal C and ignition switch (IG1) circuit through common connector)
- GND circuit (HO2S connector terminal D and PCM connector terminal 94 (Front), 93 (Rear))

Short circuit
- Power circuit (HO2S connector terminal C and ignition switch (IG1) circuit through common connector to GND)
- GND circuit (HO2S connector terminal D and PCM connector terminal 94 (Front), 93 (Rear) to GND)

5. Reconnect the HO2S connector.
