Diagnostic Test

  1. OXYGEN SENSOR 1/2 VOLTAGE 
    1. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
      WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
    2. With a scan tool, monitor the 1/2 O2 Sensor Volts.

      Is the voltage greater than 3.9 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. (K141) O2 1/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (K141) O2 1/2 Signal circuit in the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
      NOTE: Measure the voltage in reference to ground, not the (K904) O2 1/2 Return circuit.

      Is the voltage above 5.02 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (K904) O2 1/2 RETURN CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (K904) O2 1/2 Return circuit in the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (K141) O2 1/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K299) O2 1/2 HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (K141) O2 1/2 Signal circuit and the (K299) O2 1/2 Heater Control circuit in the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. OXYGEN SENSOR 1/2 VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Connect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
    3. Connect a jumper wire between the (K141) O2 1/2 Signal circuit and the (K904) O2 1/2 Return circuit in the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. With a scan tool, monitor the 1/2 O2 Sensor Volts.

      Is the voltage between 2.3 and 2.7 volts with the jumper wire in place?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  8

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. (K141) O2 1/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    Fig 5: Checking O2 Sensor Circuit

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. If necessary, remove the jumper wire from between the (K141) O2 1/2 Signal circuit and the (K904) O2 1/2 Return circuit in the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.
      NOTE: When checking circuits at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (K141) O2 1/2 Signal circuit between the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  7

      No 

  7. (K904) O2 1/2 RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

    NOTE: When checking circuits at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), be careful not to damage or distort the connector terminals. Improper measurement technique could result in poor pin to terminal contact.
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K904) O2 1/2 Return circuit between the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 harness connector to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  9

      No 

  8. OXYGEN SENSOR 1/2 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Inspect the wiring and connectors between the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    3. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    4. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the related connectors.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

  9. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Oxygen Sensor 1/2 and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
