Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 2

    A normally functioning HO2S 2 voltage signal will fluctuate above and below the bias voltage amount. The action in the test step should result in a visible reaction from the HO2S 2 output.
  2. 4

    A voltage reading other than the specified amount in this step indicates an open circuit condition in one of the signal circuits or the PCM.
  3. 5

    This step inspects for an open circuit condition in the signal circuits, independent of the PCM.
  4. 7

    The conditions listed in the table may contribute to the failure of the HO2S. The conditions listed apply only to this type of failure.
