Component Inspection
- Visually/physically inspect the following conditions:
- Inspect the front HO2S for any silicon contamination. This contamination will be indicated by a white powdery coating and this will result in a but false voltage signal
- If contamination is evident on the HO2S, replace contaminated sensor and go to 2.
- Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and let it idle.
- Connect Scantool and monitor the O2 SNSR V0L.-B1/S1 parameter on the Scantool data list.
Test Condition: Engine "ON" & In Closed loop mode
Specification:
- Is sensor switching properly?
YES
- Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure
NO
- Substitute with a known-good HO2S and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure
