Code 26, O2 Sensor CKT/Rich Exhaust Indicated
ECM supplies approximately .45 volt between ECM terminals OX and E1. If voltage is measured with a 10-megohm DVOM, reading may be as low as .32 volt. The O2 sensor produces a varying voltage as engine reaches normal operating temperature. Voltage will vary between .1-.9 volt.
The O2 sensor will not produce voltage until sensor reaches 600°F (316°C). When sensor is less than this temperature, an open loop condition exists.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code 26 will set when oxygen sensor signal voltage on Black wire remains greater than .7 volt for 30 seconds or more with system in closed loop, engine after-start run time is one minute or more, and throttle angle is 3-45 percent.
