Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Saturn LW1, 2000 Saturn LS1, and 2000 Saturn LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Oxygen Sensor (O2S) produces a voltage that varies between 300-600 millivolts under normal operating conditions. PCM monitors this voltage and determines if exhaust is lean or rich. If voltage input at PCM is about 100 millivolts, exhaust is lean. If voltage input at PCM is about 900 millivolts, exhaust is rich. PCM constantly monitors O2S signal during closed loop operation and compensates for a lean or rich condition by adjusting injector pulse width as necessary.

DTC will set if system is in closed loop less than 40 percent of the total time and the following conditions have been met:

TP angle between 10-40 percent.
ECT greater than 149°F (65°C).
Engine speed between 1200-3400 RPM.
Engine running at least 140 seconds.
DTCs P0107, P0108, P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0131, P0132, P0134, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0300, P0325, P0336, P0440, P0442, P0446, P0502, P0601, P0602, P1441, P1621 and P1640 are not set.

When DTC sets, MIL will illuminate after 2 consecutive ignition cycles in which diagnostic runs with active fault. PCM will record operating conditions at time of failure and store information in freeze frame buffer.
