Code 41: Ho2S Heater
- Turn ignition off. Remove BACK-UP fuse (7.5-amp) from underhood fuse/relay box for 10 seconds to reset ECM. Check ECM for fault codes. If Code 41 is not present, problem is intermittent. Check for poor connections at ECM, HO2S and wiring harness connectors.
- Test drive vehicle and retest. If Code 41 is present, turn ignition off. Disconnect 4-pin HO2S connector. Measure resistance between HO2S terminals "C" and "D". See Fig 1
. If resistance is not 10-40 ohms, replace sensor. If resistance is 10-40 ohms, go to step 3.

- Check for continuity between body ground and HO2S terminals "C" and "D". If continuity is present, replace sensor. If continuity is not present, check for continuity between terminal "D" and terminals "A" and "B". If continuity is present, replace sensor.
- If continuity is not present, turn ignition on. Measure voltage between Yellow/Black (+) and Orange/Black (-) wire terminals at HO2S wiring harness connector. See Fig 1
. If battery voltage is not present, go to step 7. If battery voltage is present, disconnect connector "A" from ECM. Measure voltage between Yellow/Black (+) and Orange/Black (-) wires at HO2S wiring harness connector.
- If battery voltage is present, repair short circuit in Orange/Black wire between ECM connector terminal A6 and HO2S. If battery voltage is not present, reconnect HO2S. Connect connector "A" of ECM Test Harness (07LAJ-PT3010A
) to vehicle wiring harness, leaving ECM disconnected.
- Connect ammeter between test terminals A6 (+) and A23 (-). Monitor ammeter for 5 minutes. If current is less than 0.1 amp, replace HO2S. If current is not less than 0.1 amp, replace ECM and retest.
- If battery voltage did not exist in step 4, measure voltage between Yellow/Black wire terminal (+) at HO2S wiring harness connector and body ground. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Yellow/Black wire between HO2S and main relay. If battery voltage exists, turn ignition off. Reconnect HO2S wiring harness connector.
- Connect connector "A" of ECM Test Harness (07LAJ-PT3010A
) to ECM wiring harness, leaving ECM disconnected. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between test terminals A6 (+) and A23 (-). If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Orange/Black wire between ECM connector terminal A6 and HO2S. If battery voltage exists, replace ECM and retest.
