Heated Oxygen Sensor -G39-, CHECKING

Observe all safety precautions: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

View clean working conditions: CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS 

Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.

For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.

NOTE:

When servicing terminals in harness connector of Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19-, use only gold-plated terminals.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements

Test procedure

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK .

Start diagnosis

Checking heater resistance

-- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19- electrical harness connector -1-.

-- Using a multimeter, measure the resistance of the heater from terminal 3 to terminal 4 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19- connector.

Specified value: 2 - 4 Ω with the exhaust system at room temperature

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19-. Refer to the Repair Information.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Switch ignition on.

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 4 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19- harness connector to ground.

Specification: About Battery voltage

-- Switch ignition off.

If specified value is Not obtained:

-- Check for an open, short to ground or high resistance between terminal 4 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19- and the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Fuse, (Refer to applicable wiring diagram for fuse positions).

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Connect scan tool.

-- Start the engine and let idle.

-- Perform the function test located in diagnostic mode 06. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 06 - READ TEST RESULTS FOR SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS .

If specified values are obtained:

-- Fault may be intermittent.

-- Check for loose or corroded connections and any leaks in the exhaust.

-- Check Freeze Frame data for conditions when the DTC set.

-- Go to Final procedures

If the specified values are not obtained:

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19- electrical harness connector terminals 2 to 6 for voltage.

Specified value: 0.40 to 2.00 Volts approx.

-- Switch the ignition Off.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Replace Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19-. Refer to Repair Information.

If the specified value was not obtained:

Checking wiring

-- Remove the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19-. Refer to the service information for removal and installation procedures.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39- / Oxygen Sensor Heater -Z19- electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T94 for an open circuit.

Specified resistance 1.5 Ω max.

If the specification is Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for high resistance, an open or short circuit to Battery or ground.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring or connection.

If the specification is obtained:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair Information.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
