Inspection Procedures

  1. CHECK HO2S AND ECM CONNECTORS 
    1. Check HO2S and ECM for poor connection, misplaced, bent, loose or corroded terminals.

    Are both connectors good? 

    Yes: Go to next step.

    No: Repair or replace it.

  2. CHECK HO2S HEATER RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn ignition switch to OFF and disconnect HO2S connector.
    2. Measure resistance between the terminals 3 and 4 of HO2S connector.

    • 3 ~ 4 Ω at between 18°C and 28°C (64°F ~ 82°F) 

    Is resistance within specifications? 

    Yes: Go to next step.

    No: Replace HO2S.

  3. CHECK POWER TO HO2S HEATER 
    1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
    2. Measure voltage between the terminal 3 of HO2S harness connector and chassis ground.

    • Specification: approximately B+ 

    Is voltage within specification? 

    Yes: Go to next step.

    No: Repair open or short to ground in harness.

  4. CHECK FOR SHORT TO POWER IN HARNESS 
    1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM and HO2S connectors.
    3. Turn ignition switch to ON.
    4. Measure voltage between the terminal 4 of HO2S harness connector and chassis ground.

    • Specification: below 0.5V 

    Is voltage within specification? 

    Yes: Go to next step.

    No: Repair short to power in harness.

  5. CHECK FOR OPEN IN HARNESS 
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Measure resistance between the terminals 4 of HO2S harness connector and 7 of ECM harness connector C133-2.

Does resistance indicate continuity? 

Yes: Proceed with ECM PROBLEM PROCEDURE .

No: Repair open in harness.
