Checking Connector, Wiring And Components

Check the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.

Check the signal cable (-) between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #5 and control module terminal #A44 (#A44). Check the cable for calibration current between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #2 and heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #A69 (#B9). Check for an open-circuit.

Check the cable for calibration current between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #2 and control module terminal #A69 (#B9). Check the cable for pump current between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #6 and control module terminal #A25 (#A54). Check for a short-circuit to each other.

If the connector and cables are OK try a new heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).

Remedy as necessary.
