Code 44: Lean Exhaust Indication: Notes

CODE 44 ECM TERMINAL & CKT WIRING IDENTIFICATION

Application ECM Terminal Wire Color
O2 Signal J1D09 Purple
O2 Ground J1D10 Tan

O2 sensor acts like an open sensor circuit and produces no voltage when exhaust temperature is less than 600°F (316°C). An open sensor circuit or cold sensor causes "open loop" operation.

NOTE: Test number refers to number on diagnostic chart.
  1. Checks to see if O2 sensor is registering a lean condition. Code 44 is set when O2 sensor voltage signal at control module is low (less than .3 volt) for a precalibrated period and system is operating in "closed loop".
