Code 13 - O2 Sensor (Open Circuit): Notes
The ECM supplies .45 volt between terminals D6 and D7. When oxygen sensor reaches operating temperature, it varies this voltage from approximately 1 volt (lean exhaust) to approximately .10 volt (rich exhaust). Oxygen sensor produces no voltage when temperature is less than 600°F (360°C) and engine operates in open loop.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code 13 will set if engine is at normal operating temperature and engine has been running at least 2 minutes. The oxygen signal voltage must be steady between .35 and .55 volts, engine speed is greater than 1600 RPM and throttle position sensor signal is greater than 5 percent (about .3 volt more than closed throttle). All conditions must be met for approximately 60 seconds. If conditions for a Code 13 exist, system will not go into closed loop. An open sensor circuit or cold sensor causes open loop operation.
- This determines if sensor, wiring or ECM is the cause of Code 13.
- Use only a high impedance (10-megohm) digital volt/ohmmeter. This checks continuity of circuits No. 412 and 413. If circuit No. 413 is open, ECM voltage on circuit No. 412 will be greater than .6 volt.
