Test TC-103A: O2S 1/1 Heater Failure

NOTE: For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
  1. For O2 sensor/model identification see O2 SENSOR 1/1 IDENTIFICATION  table. Using scan tool, read trouble codes. If any other O2 SENSOR 1/1 DTCs are set, perform other tests first. See DTC TEST. If no other O2 SENSOR 1/1 DTCs are set, go to next step.
    O2 SENSOR 1/1 IDENTIFICATION

    Application Location
    Avenger, Sebring Coupe & Talon
    4-Cylinder Upstream O2S
    V6 Rear Bank Upstream O2S
    Breeze, Cirrus, Neon, Sebring Conv. & Stratus
    4-Cylinder Upstream O2S
    V6 Upstream O2S
  2. Turn ignition on with engine off. Wait 8 minutes. Using scan tool, monitor O2S 1/1 voltage. Wait for voltage reading to stabilize between .4-.6 volt. Using scan tool, actuate O2S 1/1 heater test. Monitor O2S 1/1 voltage for 2 minutes. If O2S 1/1 voltage is still .4-.6 volt, go to step 5)  . If O2S 1/1 voltage is not .4-.6 volt, go to next step.
  3. If referenced to this test from TEST TC-118A, go to TEST TC-118A  and continue testing procedure. If not referenced to this test from TEST TC-118A, go to next step.
  4. Condition to set trouble code is not present at this time. O2S 1/1 HEATER FAILURE DTC sets O2S voltage is more than 3 volts for 30-90 seconds. Possible causes are: open heater element circuit, O2S 1/1 failure, O2 heater failure, PCM failure, faulty connectors or wiring. Stop all actuator tests. Test is complete. Perform TEST VER-5A .
  5. Disconnect O2S 1/1 connector. Inspect O2S 1/1 connector for damaged, pushed out or miswired terminals. Repair connector as necessary. Perform TEST VER-5A . If connector is okay, go to next step.
  6. With scan tool still actuating O2S 1/1 heater test, using a voltmeter, check voltage of ASD relay output circuit on O2S 1/1 connector (harness side). See O2S 1/1 CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION (HARNESS SIDE)  table. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open ASD relay output circuit. Perform TEST VER-5A .
  7. Using scan tool, stop actuator test. Allow engine to cool to room temperature. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance of O2S 1/1 heater element. Measure resistance between 2 White wires on O2S 1/1 connector (component side). See O2S 1/1 CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION (COMPONENT SIDE)  table. If resistance is 4-7 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 4-7 ohms, replace O2S 1/1. Perform TEST VER-5A .
  8. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance of O2S 1/1 heater ground circuit between O2S 1/1 connector (harness side) and ground. See O2S 1/1 CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION (HARNESS SIDE)  table. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace O2S 1/1. Perform TEST VER-5A. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open heater ground circuit. Perform TEST VER-5A .
