Description

The purpose of this procedure is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute inspection/maintenance (I/M) system monitor for the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) System. The system monitor is comprised of the test results from one or more DTCs. The procedure may be used to set the HO2S Heater I/M System Status display on the scan tool to YES. The HO2S Heater I/M System Status display indicates whether or not the control module has completed the system monitor. The system monitor completes when either all DTCs comprising the monitor run and pass, or any DTC comprising the monitor illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). If one of the DTCs comprising the monitor is set and the MIL is not illuminated, the necessary trips are required to illuminate the MIL before the monitor will complete. Once the monitor completes, the HO2S Heater I/M System Status display will be updated to YES.

Conditions for Running
    • The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is more than 70°C (158°F).
    • The battery voltage is between 11-18 volts.

Diagnostic Aids

If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time than was allotted in the system set procedure. If any DTCs do not run and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and service information. This will give an indication of why the DTCs do not run. Some may abort due to changes in the conditions while running. For example, changes in engine load such as a cooling fan or air conditioning (A/C) compressor clutch turning ON, may cause a DTC to abort. If the HO2S Heater I/M System Status does not update to YES, the procedure can be repeated until a YES status is achieved.

    Important: Whenever the ignition is turned ON, ignition positive voltage is supplied to the HO2S heaters. After verifying the enable criteria, turn OFF the ignition for approximately 5 minutes to allow the sensors to cool before continuing with the test.

  1. Preprogram the scan tool with the vehicle information before the ignition is turned ON.
  2. Ensure the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running specified in the supporting text.
  3. Set the vehicle parking brake.
  4. Verify the transmission is in PARK for automatic transmissions and NEUTRAL for manual transmissions.
  5. Turn OFF all of the accessories, e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.
  6. Start and allow the engine to idle for the specified time.
  7. Observe the I/M System Status display with a scan tool.

Caution: Refer to Road Test Caution in the Preface section.

Important: If the HO2S Heater I/M System Status updates to YES at any time during the drive procedure, disregard the remaining numbers in this step.

  1. Accelerate at part throttle to 89 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for the specified time.
  2. Decelerate to 32 km/h (20 mph).
  3. Accelerate at part throttle to 89 km/h (55 mph).

  1. Refer to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to determine which DTCs are required to run in order to update the HO2S Heater I/M System Status to YES.
  2. Observe the Not Ran Since Code Cleared display with a scan tool.
  3. Determine which of the DTCs required for a YES status has not run.
  4. Enter the DTC number in the Specific DTC menu of the scan tool.
  5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC, located in the supporting text for the diagnostic table of the DTC.
  6. Repeat numbers 4 and 5 of this step for any additional required DTCs that have not run.
  7. Observe the I/M System Status display with a scan tool.
