DTC P0030: Ho2S Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)

  1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS 

    Detect the malfunction of front oxygen (A/F) sensor heater.

    Diagnosis is performed using A/F microcomputer, and communication is established between A/F microcomputer and main microcomputer. Judge NG when the data of heater malfunction NG is transmitted.

    Judge NG when the front oxygen (A/F) sensor element impedance is out of the standard value.
