Signal Too Low - Permanent Fault
Signal too low. Permanent fault
Checking components and wiring
Check the resistance of the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) between terminals #3 and #4.
Check the signal cable between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #4 and control module terminal #A18 (#A18). Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.
