Diagnostic Test
- O2 SENSOR HEATER OPERATION
- Turn the ignition off.NOTE:
Wait a minimum of eight 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.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, actuate the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Test.
- With the scan tool, monitor O2 Sensor 1/2 voltage for at least two minutes.
Does the voltage stay above 4.5 volts?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to: INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- Turn the ignition off.
- O2 SENSOR 1/2 HEATER ELEMENT
- Turn the ignition off.NOTE:
Allow the O2 sensor to cool down to room temperature.
- Disconnect the O2 Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Element across the O2 Sensor, between the O2 Sensor Heater Control terminal and the Heater ground terminal.NOTE:
O2 Heater Element resistance values should be measured at 21.1°C (70°F). The resistance value will vary with different temperature values.
Is the resistance of the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Element between 2.0 and 30.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the O2 Sensor 1/2 and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If no problems are found, replace the O2 Sensor 1/2. Refer to SENSOR, OXYGEN, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Turn the ignition off.
- CHECK THE (K299) O2 SENSOR 1/2 HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.CAUTION:
Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
- Connect the GPEC Diagnostic Adapter [special tool # 10436]
- Measure the resistance of the (K299) O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Control circuit from the O2 Sensor 1/2 harness connector to the GPEC Adaptor.
Is the resistance below 0.5 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the (K299) O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Control circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
- CHECK THE O2 SENSOR 1/2 HEATER GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance between ground and the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Ground circuit in the O2 Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 0.5 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance between ground and the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Ground circuit in the O2 Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
