The wide band heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system and provides more information than the switching style HO2S. The wide band sensor consists of an oxygen sensing cell, an oxygen pumping cell, and a heater. The exhaust gas sample passes through a diffusion gap between the sensing cell and the pumping cell. The engine control module (ECM) supplies a voltage to the HO2S and uses this voltage as a reference to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system. An electronic circuit within the ECM controls the pump current through the oxygen pumping cell in order to maintain a constant voltage in the oxygen sensing cell. The ECM monitors the voltage variation in the sensing cell and attempts to keep the voltage constant by increasing or decreasing the amount of current flow, or oxygen ion flow, to the pumping cell. By measuring the amount of current required to maintain the voltage in the sensing cell, the ECM can determine the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust. The HO2S voltage is displayed as a lambda value. A lambda value of 1 is equal to a stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 14.7:1. Under normal operating conditions, the lambda value will remain around 1. When the fuel system is lean, the oxygen level will be high and the lambda signal will be high or more than 1. When the fuel system is rich, the oxygen level will be low, and the lambda signal will be low or less than 1. The ECM uses this information to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio.
• | Before the ECM can report DTC P2626 failed, DTCs P0101, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0336, and P0338 must run and pass. |
• | The engine is operating. |
• | The ignition voltage is between 11-18 volts. |
• | The fuel system is in decel fuel cut-off (DEFCO). |
• | The calculated exhaust temperature is less than 750°C (1,382°F). |
• | The heated oxygen sensors are at operating temperature. |
• | DTC P2626 runs continuously once the above conditions are met for greater than 4 seconds or 600 seconds if the fuel level is less than 12 percent. |
The ECM internal HO2S voltage is greater than 4.81 volts for greater than 4 seconds, or for a cumulative of 50 seconds.
DTC P2626 is a Type B DTC.

⇒ | If any of the above DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the pump current circuit for an open. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
