CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) is used to detect the oxygen content in the exhaust. The PCM supplies the sensor with a signal circuit and with a ground circuit. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies a bias voltage between the circuits. The sensor varies the voltage based on the oxygen content in the exhaust. When the exhaust stream is lean, indicating more oxygen, the sensor produces a low voltage signal. When the exhaust stream is rich, indicating less oxygen, the sensor produces a high voltage signal. The PCM monitors the HO2S signal during closed loop. In order to correct for rich or lean conditions, the PCM adjusts the injector pulse width.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ DTC P0101, P01 02, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0131, P0132, P0135, P0151, P0152, P0155, P0201-P0208, P0300, P0410, P0440, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, P1415, P1416, P1441 are not set.
^ The engine speed is between 1200-2800 RPM.
^ The MAF is between 15-35 g/s.
^ The TP angle is more than 3 percent.
^ The system voltage is between 9-18 volts.
^ The engine coolant temperature is higher than 75°C.
^ The closed loop fuel control is enabled.
^ The air/fuel ratio is between 14.5-14.8.
^ The engine run time is more than 3 minutes.
^ The transmission not in Park, Reverse, or Neutral.
^ The above conditions exist for 3 seconds.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The PCM monitors fewer than 5 lean-to-rich switches, and fewer than 5 rich-to-lean switches.
^ The condition is present for a 90-second monitoring period.
^ The O2 voltage is between 325-625 mV.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The control module illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The control module turns OFF the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A current DTC "Last Test Failed" clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL and the DTC.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

NOTE:
^ Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wire Repair Notice in Service Precautions.
^ Refer to Connector Test Adapter Kit J 35616-A Notice in Service Precautions.

If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions. Intermittent Conditions

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-11:




The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step checks if other possible causes of this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) have already been diagnosed.
3. Diagnose other DTCs first because other DTCs may be the cause of this DTC setting.
4. With the engine running warm and at fast idle, and with the engine coolant temperature at least 85°C (185°F), the oxygen sensor voltage should rapidly swing to more than 625 mV and to less than 325 mV.
6. This step checks if the oxygen sensor voltage is swinging between rich and lean very slowly, or not at all.
9. This step checks for causes of oxygen sensor failure. If the sensor is replaced without finding the cause of contamination, premature failure of the new sensor may result.
