Diagnostic Test
- DTC IS ACTIVE NOTE: If an O2 sensor signal circuit is shorted to voltage, all O2 sensor voltage readings displayed on the scan tool will be approximately 5.0 volts. Diagnose the sensor that set the most current DTC.
- Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hand near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.
- With a scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Perform the CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
- Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.

- Turn the ignition off.
- Measure the resistance between the (K41) O2 1/1 Signal circuit and the (K99) O2 1/1 Heater Control circuit the 1/1 Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (K41) O2 1/1 Signal circuit for a short to the (K99) O2 1/1 Heater Control circuit.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 5
- 1/1 OXYGEN SENSOR
- Turn the ignition off.
- Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
- Connect a jumper wire between the (K41) O2 1/1 Signal circuit and the (K902) O2 Return (Up) circuit in the 1/1 Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With a scan tool, monitor the 1/1 Oxygen Sensor voltage.
Is the voltage between 2.3 and 2.7 volts with the jumper wire in place?
Yes
- Replace the 1/1 Oxygen Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 6
