Reading Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) status ECM-2100
Note! When Reading the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) status, other stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their status will be listed.
- Read the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) status. Check the status of the relevant Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
Was the status of the relevant Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) displayed as permanent?

No - Current Too High - Intermittent Fault
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.

Verification
Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off.
- Reconnect the connectors, reinstall components etc.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Read front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) signal.
Check that the signal is within its permitted range according to Pinout Values and Diagnostic Parameters
Is the signal OK?
Yes - Testing Complete
No - Continue Below.
Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
