Diagnostic Test
- DTC IS ACTIVE
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Start the engine.
- Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
- Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
- With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT DTC Diagnostic Procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure

- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
- Disconnect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
- Remove the ASD Relay from the PDC.
- Connect a jumper wire between cavity 30 and cavity 87 of the ASD Relay Connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage of the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit in the Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3

- Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit in the Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 4
No
- Repair the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .

- Measure the resistance between the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit and the (K99) O2 1/1 Heater Control circuit in the Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 6
No
- Repair the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit for a short to the (K99) O2 1/1 Heater Control circuit.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
- Measure the resistance between the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit and the (K99) O2 1/1 Heater Control circuit in the Oxygen Sensor harness connector.
- (Z43) O2 1/1 NEGATIVE CURRENT CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit between the Oxygen Sensor harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 7
No
- Repair the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
- Measure the resistance of the (Z43) O2 1/1 Negative Current Control circuit between the Oxygen Sensor harness connector and the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
- OXYGEN SENSOR
- Turn the ignition off.
- Connect the Engine Control Module (ECM) harness connector.
- Replace the Oxygen Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
- Start the engine.
- Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
- Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
- With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?
Yes
- Go to step 8
No
- Test Complete.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
- ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors the Oxygen Sensor and the Engine Control Module (ECM).
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
- Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
- Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
