Checking wiring and components



Check signal cable (+) between control module # A42 (# A42) and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) connector terminal 4 for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault

Hint: With the ignition on and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) connector disconnected, the voltage between terminal 4 and ground terminal should be approximately 0.1V.

Check signal cable (-) between control module # A41 (# A41) and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) connector terminal 3 for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault

If wiring is OK, try another Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S).

Remedy as necessary.
