DTC P0053:00: Notes

DTC P0053:00 (L3 WITH TC) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0053:00	A/F sensor heater resistance
DETECTION CONDITION	The PCM monitors the A/F sensor heater resistance when under the A/F sensor heater control. If the resistance is more than 30 ohms, the PCM determines that there is a A/F sensor circuit problem. Diagnostic support note This is a intermittent monitor (A/F sensor heater, HO2S heater). The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available. DTCs are stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	A/F sensor connector or terminals malfunction A/F sensor heater malfunction Short to ground or open circuit in A/F sensor heater power supply circuit Short to ground in wiring harness between main relay and A/F sensor terminal 2B ENG BAR 2 7.5 A fuse malfunction Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay and A/F sensor terminal 2B Short to ground in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal 2D and PCM terminal 2C PCM connector or terminals malfunction Open circuit in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal 2D and PCM terminal 2C PCM malfunction

DTC P0053:00

A/F sensor heater resistance

DETECTION CONDITION

The PCM monitors the A/F sensor heater resistance when under the A/F sensor heater control. If the resistance is more than 30 ohms, the PCM determines that there is a A/F sensor circuit problem.

Diagnostic support note

This is a intermittent monitor (A/F sensor heater, HO2S heater).
The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
DTCs are stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

A/F sensor connector or terminals malfunction
A/F sensor heater malfunction
Short to ground or open circuit in A/F sensor heater power supply circuit
- Short to ground in wiring harness between main relay and A/F sensor terminal 2B
- ENG BAR 2 7.5 A fuse malfunction
- Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay and A/F sensor terminal 2B
Short to ground in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal 2D and PCM terminal 2C
PCM connector or terminals malfunction
Open circuit in wiring harness between A/F sensor terminal 2D and PCM terminal 2C
PCM malfunction
