DTC P0037: Ho2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

  1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS 

    Detect open or short circuit of rear oxygen sensor heater.

    Rear oxygen sensor heater conducted the duty control, and the output terminal voltage at ON is 0 V and the output terminal voltage at OFF is the battery voltage.

    Judge NG when the terminal voltage remains to be Low.
