Circuit Description
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater is a device used to reduce the time that the HO2S takes to go active. The powertrain control module (PCM) controls the HO2S heaters using low side (ODM) drivers. The PCM uses a current monitoring driver to test the condition of the fuel control heaters. A high side driver provides HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 heater with ignition voltage. A low side driver provides the ground path for both of the heaters. With the engine running, the PCM turns ON the high side, and the low side driver to warm-up the oxygen sensors. If the PCM detects an incorrect circuit condition for the commanded state of the current monitoring driver, this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | The system voltage is between 9-18 volts. |
| • | The ignition is ON. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects an incorrect circuit condition for the commanded state of the current monitor driver.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
