Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Multimeter.

Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

The Oxygen Sensor O2S Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29) fuse OK.

Oxygen Sensor O2S Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29) OK. Refer to => [ Oxygen Sensor O2S Heater Behind Catalytic Converter, Bank 1, Sensor 2, Checking ].

Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.

All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.

Vehicles with automatic transmission, selector lever in position "P" or "N".

A/C switched off.

Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Start diagnosis

- Remove the engine covers. Refer to the appropriate service manual.






- Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical harness connector. Oxygen sensor after three way catalytic converter (G130) / Oxygen Sensor O2S Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29) - 1 -






Checking internal resistance

- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) 1 Before Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29) terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.

Specified value: 2.5 to 14.0 ohms (at approx. 20° C)

If the specified value was Not obtained:

- Replace the Oxygen sensor after three way catalytic converter (G130) / Oxygen Sensor O2S Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

- Go to Final procedures

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking voltage supply

- Switch the ignition ON.

- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to ground (GND) for voltage.






Specified value: Battery voltage.

- Switch the ignition OFF.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

- Check the Oxygen Sensor O2S Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29) electrical harness connector T4l terminal 5 to Fuse SA17 in Fuse Panel A Connector or an open circuit, a short circuit to each other or Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

- Repair the circuit and replace any open fuses.

- Go to Final procedures

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking Ground (GND) activation

- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor O2S Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter Heater (Z29) electrical harness connector to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T94 for resistance.











Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a open circuit or short to Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- Go to Final procedures

If the specified value was obtained:

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Programming and Relearning.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

Final procedures

- Reinstall the engine covers, if necessary. Refer to the appropriate service manual.

- For connector location, removal and installation procedures. Refer to the appropriate service manual.

- After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Programming and Relearning.
