Test TC-182A: O2S 2/2 Shorted To Ground
NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- For O2 sensor/model identification see O2 SENSOR 2/2 IDENTIFICATION table. O2S 2/2 VOLTAGE SHORTED TO GROUND DTC sets if O2S 2/2 signal voltage is less than .156 volt for 28 seconds after engine start. Possible causes are: O2S 2/2 output wire shorted to ground, dirty or wet O2S 2/2 connector causing voltage tracking, O2S 2/2 failure, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failure or faulty connections or wiring. Go to next step.O2 SENSOR 2/2 IDENTIFICATION
Application Location Avenger & Sebring Coupe V6 Front Bank Upstream O2S - Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, observe O2S 2/2 voltage for a few minutes. If O2S 2/2 voltage is less than .16 volt, go to next step. If O2S 2/2 voltage is .16 volt or more, condition to set trouble code is not present at this time. Perform TEST VER-5A .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect O2S 2/2 connector. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read O2S 2/2 voltage. If voltage is less than .16 volt, go to next step. If voltage is .16 volt or more, replace O2S 2/2. Perform TEST VER-5A .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connector. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between O2S 2/2 signal circuit and O2S 2/2 ground circuit at O2S 2/2 connector (harness side). See O2S 2/2 CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION (HARNESS SIDE) table. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to next step. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground circuit on O2S 2/2 signal circuit. Perform TEST VER-5A .
- Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between O2S 2/2 signal circuit and chassis ground at O2S 2/2 connector (harness side). See O2S 2/2 CONNECTOR WIRE IDENTIFICATION (HARNESS SIDE) table. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, replace PCM. Perform TEST VER-5A . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground on O2S 2/2 signal circuit. Perform TEST VER-5A .
