3
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Intermittent Conditions
4
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1.
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Observe the HO2S 1 parameter on a scan tool.
Is the voltage more than the specified value?
475 mV Go to Step 10  Go to Step 5 
5 Measure the voltage between the HO2S 1 low signal circuit, on the engine harness side, and a good ground with a DMM. Refer to Circuit Testing .
Is the voltage more than the specified value?
1 V Go to Step 11  Go to Step 6 
6
  1. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the HO2S 1 high signal circuit, on the engine harness side, and a good ground.
  2. Observe the HO2S 1 parameter with a scan tool.
Is the voltage less than the specified value?
15 mV Go to Step 7  Go to Step 12 
7
  1. Remove the jumper wire from the previous step.
  2. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the high signal circuit and the low signal circuit of the HO2S 1 on the engine harness side.
  3. Observe the HO2S parameter with a scan tool.
Is the voltage less than the specified value?
15 mV Go to Step 8  Go to Step 13 
8
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Measure the resistance between the low signal circuit and heater low control circuit on the engine harness side of the HO2S 1. Refer to Circuit Testing .
Is the resistance less than the specified value?
200K ohm Go to Step 14  Go to Step 9 
9 Probe the HO2S 1 low signal circuit with a test lamp that is connected to B+. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors .
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 15  Go to Step 16 
10 Test the HO2S 1 high signal circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?

Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 21  Go to Step 18 
13 Test the HO2S 1 low signal circuit for an open or high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 21  Go to Step 18 
14 Test the HO2S 1 low signal circuit for a short to the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit. Refer to Circuit Testing andWiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 21  Go to Step 18 
15 Test the HO2S 1 low signal circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 21  Go to Step 18 
16 Inspect for the following that may affect the HO2S operation:
    NOTE: Refer to Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Notice in Cautions and Notices.
  • HO2S contamination
  • NOTE: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Notice in Cautions and Notices.
  • Chafed, burnt, cut, pinched, or otherwise damaged HO2S wiring
  • Exhaust system leaks or restrictions
  • Evaporative emission (EVAP) system malfunction - Inspect the EVAP control system. Refer to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Set Procedure .
  • Incorrect fuel pressure - Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis .

Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 21  Go to Step 17 
17 Test for shorted terminals and poor connections at the HO2S 1. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
