Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies about .45 volt to Oxygen Sensor 1 (O2S 1). The O2S 1 supplies a varying voltage from about one volt when exhaust is rich to about .10 volt when exhaust is lean. PCM monitors and stores sensor voltage information and evaluates the voltage samples to determine amount of time sensor voltage is out of range. If PCM detects O2S 1 voltage remains at or near .45 volt for an extended period, DTC will set.
Conditions for setting this DTC are as follows:
- DTCs P0106, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0171, P0200, P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0341, P0404, P0506, P0507, P0601 or P0602 not set.
- Airflow greater than 3 gm/s.
- ECT greater than 158°F (70°C).
- Engine run time is greater than 30 seconds.
- TP sensor angle is 4-56 percent for 20 seconds.
- O2S 1 voltage is 399-499 mV for 125 seconds.
