Signal Too Low - Permanent Fault






Signal too low. Permanent fault

Checking connector, wiring and components

Caution! Do not apply rust solvent spray or grease to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) connector.

Check the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the signal cable (-) between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #5 and control module terminal #A42 (#A42). Check the cable for calibration current between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #2 and control module terminal #A28 (#A28). Check for an open-circuit.
Check the cable for calibration current between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #2 and control module terminal #A28 (#A28). Check the cable for the pump current between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #6 and control module terminal #A24 (#A24). Check for a short-circuit to each other.
If the connector and cables are OK try a new heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
Remedy as necessary.
