Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started, the PCM operates in Open Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperatures and Closed Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.
If the PCM detects the loop status is open too long, DTC P0130 will set.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0130 HO2S Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
• | DTCs P0030, P0068, P0069, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0117, P0118, P0120, P0121, P0125, P0128, P0130, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0134, P0135, P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0220, P1133, P1516, P1681, P2101, P2135, P2176 are not set. |
• | The Engine Run Time parameter is more than 200 seconds. |
• | The Engine Speed parameter is between 1,000-3,400 RPM. |
• | The Ignition 1 Signal parameter is between 11-18 volts. |
• | The Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor parameter is between 10-50 g/s. |
• | The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor parameter is more than 50°C (122°F). |
• | The traction control is not active. |
• | The catalyst protection mode is not active. |
• | Decel fuel cut-off is not active. |
• | Power enrichment is not active. |
• | DTC P0130 runs continuously when the above conditions are met for 2 seconds. |
• | The PCM detects that the Loop Status parameter is open. |
• | DTC P0130 sets within 50 seconds when the above condition is met. |
• | 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. |
• | 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. |
