Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 1: Make sure you perform the I/M System Check before performing this test. Failure to do so may result in difficulty updating the status to YES.
- 2: Preprogramming the scan tool will reduce the amount of time the oxygen sensor heaters operate while verifying the enable criteria. The HO2S Heater Tests may not complete when initiated from a cold start and may require running under a load in order to complete the tests.
- 3: This step is to identify a first failure of a type B DTC. A DTC only appears on the I/M System Status display when it becomes a MIL illuminating DTC. This occurs on the second failure of a type B DTC. A first failure of a type B DTC will not allow the I/M System Status to update to YES. Refer to Diagnostic Aids.
- 4: This step is to help identify any unique or unusual criteria required to run the diagnostic test in the event the universal set procedure does not. This information is located in the service information under Conditions for Running the DTC.
- 5: The I/M System Status only reports on whether or not a diagnostic has run, not what the outcome of the test was. If any emission related DTC sets after the tests are complete, the DTC will require diagnosis.
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater System Set Procedure
| Step | Action | Values | Yes | No |

IMPORTANT:
If the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heaters. After verifying the enable criteria, turn OFF the ignition for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sensors to cool before continuing with the test.
