Circuit Description

Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) system is used to control emissions. PCM uses signal from rear Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S-2) located behind TWC, to determine efficiency of TWC. PCM will set DTC P0140 if HO2S signal voltage remains between .4-.5 volts for an extended period of time.

Conditions required to set DTC are:

• No related DTCs set.
• Engine running time is longer than 2 minutes.
• HO2S-2 heater is operating properly, and HO2S-2 is at operating temperature.
• Engine is operating in closed loop.
• HO2S-2 signal remains between 426-474 millivolts for 106 seconds during a 125-second period.
