Signal Too High - Permanent Fault
Signal too high. 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 supply voltage.
Hint: Use a test lamp with at least a 3 W bulb to determine whether the cable is short-circuited to supply voltage.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Test drive the car according to the TRIP schedule, see Verifying repairs Verifying Repairs
- Do not switch off the engine after the test drive
- Connect the car to VIDA again. Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status for the front heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
- There must not be any faults when the diagnostic is complete.
