Diagnostic Test
- 1) O2 SENSOR HEATER OPERATION
Turn the ignition off.
NOTE: Wait a minimum of 8 minutes to allow the O2 Sensor to cool down before continuing the test. Allow the O2 Sensor voltage to stabilize between 4.6 and 5.0 volts.Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, actuate the O2 Heater Test.
With the scan tool, monitor 2/1 O2 Sensor voltage for at least 2 minutes.
Does the voltage stay above 4.5 volts?
Yes
- Go To 2).
No
- Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION ..
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- 2) O2 SENSOR HEATER ELEMENT
Turn the ignition off.
NOTE: Allow the O2 sensor to cool down to room temperature.Disconnect the 2/1 O2 Sensor harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the O2 Heater Element across the O2 Sensor connector between the O2 Heater Control terminal and the O2 Heater ground terminal.
NOTE: O2 Heater Element resistance values should be measured at 70°F (21.1°C). The resistance value will vary with different temperature values.Is the resistance of the O2 Sensor Heater Element between 2.0 and 30.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go To 3).
No
- Replace the O2 Sensor.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- 3) (K199) O2 2/1 HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE
Disconnect the O2 harness connectors.
With the scan tool, actuate the O2 Heater.
Using a 12-volt test light connected ground, probe the (K199) O2 2/1 Heater Control circuit from the O2 harness connector.
NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4).
No
- Repair the excessive resistance in the (K199) O2 2/1 Heater Control circuit.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- 4) (Z904) O2 SENSOR HEATER GROUND CIRCUIT HIGH RESISTANCE
Using a 12-volt test light connected battery voltage, probe the (Z904) O2 Heater ground circuit in the O2 Sensor harness connector.
NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 5).
No
- Repair the excessive resistance in the (Z904) O2 Heater ground circuit.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- 5) PCM NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
Were there any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
