Sub-Oxygen Sensor
- Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Check ECU for stored fault code(s). If sub-oxygen sensor or circuit fails, a Code 27 fault code will set in ECU memory. Clear codes if present. See CLEARING TROUBLE CODES in TESTS W/CODES
article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.NOTE: DO NOT drive vehicle more than 62 MPH or code will cancel.
- Drive vehicle between 50 and 61 MPH for at least 5 minutes in 4th or 5th gear (M/T) or Drive (A/T).
- Fully depress accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds with engine RPM at least 3000 RPM. Stop engine and turn ignition off.
- Repeat previous steps and note if Code 27 exists again. If Code 27 exists again, check sub-oxygen sensor circuit for continuity, shorts or grounds. Replace sub-oxygen sensor if circuit is okay.
