Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Diagnose and repair any O2 Sensor or fuel system related DTCs before proceeding with this diagnostic procedure.

    1. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE (K41) O2 SENSOR 1/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) C2 harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector.
    4. Check for continuity between ground and the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit at the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
