Circuit Description
The oxygen sensor (O2S) is used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. The O2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content of the exhaust stream. When the engine is started, the control module operates in an Open Loop mode, ignoring the O2S signal voltage while calculating the air-to-fuel ratio. The control module supplies the O2S with a reference, or bias voltage of about 450 mV. While the engine runs, the O2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV. This voltage will fluctuate above and below the bias voltage. Once sufficient O2S voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, Closed Loop is entered. The control module uses the O2S voltage to determine the air-to-fuel ratio. An O2S voltage that increases above bias voltage toward 1,000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An O2S voltage that decreases below bias voltage toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.
The O2S utilizes the following circuits:
| • | A signal circuit |
| • | A low reference circuit |
If the ECM detects the O2S voltage is too high, a DTC sets.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0132 O2S Circuit High Voltage Sensor 1
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0107, P0108, P0117, P0118, P0122, P0123, P0335, P0336, P0337, P0341, P0342, P0400, P0404, P0405, and P0406 are not set. |
| • | The ignition 1 voltage is between 11-16 volts. |
| • | The fuel system is in closed loop. |
| • | The engine speed is less than 6000 RPM. |
| • | The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the O2S voltage is more than 1200 mV.
Action Taken when the DTC Sets
| • | The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will illuminate. |
| • | The coolant fan turns ON. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The MIL will turn OFF after 4 consecutive ignition cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault. |
| • | DTCs can be cleared by using the scan tool. |
| • | Disconnect the ECM battery feed for 10 seconds. |
