Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) activity for 100 seconds. During this test period the PCM counts the number of times that the HO2S signal voltage crosses the rich to lean and lean to rich thresholds. If the PCM determines that the HO2S did not switch enough times, DTC P1153 will be set. A lean to rich switch is determined when the HO2S voltage changes from less than 300 mV to greater than 600 mV. A rich to lean switch is determined when the HO2S voltage changes from more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
| • | No injector, MAF sensor, TP sensor, EVAP, IAT sensor, MAP sensor, Fuel Trim, EGR, ECT sensor DTCs set |
| • | DTC P0155 (O2 Heater) not set |
| • | The engine has been running at least 2 minutes. |
| • | Engine speed is between 1,000-3,000 RPM. |
| • | Mass Air Flow is between 15-30 gm/s. |
| • | Engine Temperature above 75°C (167°F) |
| • | Above conditions present for a 100 second monitoring period. |
| • | The PCM monitors fewer than 45 rich to lean and 45 lean to rich switches for Bank 2 HO2S 1. |
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM will illuminate the MIL during the second key cycle in which the DTC sets. |
| • | Open Loop fuel control will be in effect. |
| • | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Fail Records data. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM will turn the MIL OFF on the third consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has been run and the fault condition is no longer present. |
| • | A history DTC P1153 will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault |
| • | DTC P1153 can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear Information function or by disconnecting the PCM battery feed. |
Diagnostic Aids
A malfunction in the HO2S heater ignition feed or ground circuit may cause a DTC P1153 to set. Check HO2S heater circuitry for intermittent faults or poor connections. If connections and wiring are OK and DTC P1153 continues to set, replace the Bank 2 HO2S 1. Review the Fail Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed. This may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table:
-
A condition that affects other heated oxygen sensors indicates probable contamination. To avoid damaging replacement sensors, correct the condition which caused the contamination before replacing the affected sensors.
-
This step checks for conditions which may cause the heated oxygen sensor to appear faulty. Correct any of the described conditions if present.
-
To avoid damaging replacement sensors, correct the condition which caused the contamination before replacing the affected sensors.
