Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Start and operate engine for greater than 5 minutes. Connect scan tool. Ensure engine coolant temperature is greater than 140°F (60°C). O2S voltage should be varying from less than 391 mV to greater than 491 mV. If voltage is varying as specified, problem is intermittent. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS. If voltage is not varying as specified, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Disconnect O2S harness connector. Jumper O2S harness connector terminal to ground. If scan tool reads less than 100 mV, check for terminal tightness or faulty O2S. If scan tool reads greater than 100 mV, go to next step.
  3. Remove jumper wire. Using a DVOM, check voltage at O2S harness connector terminal. If voltage reading is .3-.6 volt, replace PCM. If voltage reading is greater than .6 volt, check for open ground circuit, terminal tightness or faulty PCM. If voltage reading is less than .3 volt, check for open signal circuit, terminal tightness or faulty PCM.
