Circuit/System Description

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 and heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started, the ECM operates in open loop, ignoring the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage signal. Once the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 and heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 reaches operating temperature and closed loop is achieved, the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) generates a voltage within a range of 0 to 1000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. Low heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. If any heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater DTCs are set, perform those diagnostics first.
  2. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature.
  3. Engine running, observe the affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) parameter with a scan tool.
    4. • The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 value should vary from below 200 mV to above 800 mV and respond to fueling changes.
    • The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 value should change more than 200 mV when the throttle is quickly cycled 3 times from closed to wide open and back to closed after running the engine at 1500 RPM for 30 s.

    Caution: Refer to Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution in the Preface section.

  4. The affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) may be damaged due to contamination. Prior to replacing the affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), inspect for the following sources of contamination:
    5. • A silicon contaminated HO2S
    • Fuel contamination, refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
    • Engine oil consumption, refer to Oil Consumption Diagnosis
    • Engine coolant consumption, refer to Loss of Coolant
  5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: All modules must be powered down or misdiagnosis may result.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the scan tool and wait 60 s to ensure all modules are powered down.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the B52A  Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) harness connector.
  3. Ignition OFF, measure for less than 5 Ω between B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) low signal circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    4. ⇒If more than the specified range, test the appropriate B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) low signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM)
  4. Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S Sensor 1or HO2S Sensor 2 parameter is approximately 450 mV.
    5. ⇒If more than the specified value, test the appropriate B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) high signal circuit terminal 4 or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM).
    ⇒If less than the specified value, test the appropriate B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) high signal circuit terminal 4 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM).
  5. Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire at the appropriate B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) high signal circuit terminal 4. Toggle the jumper wire between the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) low signal circuit terminal 3 and battery voltage. Verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter toggles between 0 mV and approximately 1000 mV.
    6. ⇒If the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter does not toggle correctly, test the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) High Signal Circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module (ECM).
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S).
