Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the HO2S.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the HO2S heater and the negative terminal of the battery.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volt between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the HO2S heater and the positive terminal of the battery.
- If greater than 0.1 volt, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the HO2S heater for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the HO2S sensor.
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the HO2S heater and the positive terminal of the battery.
- If test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit of the HO2S heater for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 volt between the control circuit of the HO2S heater and the negative terminal of the battery.
- If greater than 0.3 volt, test the control circuit of the HO2S heater for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the HO2S sensor.
IMPORTANT:
The test lamp is used to load the circuit and may not illuminate.
