Circuit/System Description

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post-catalyst monitoring. The 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) 2 must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 minimise the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 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) 2 voltage signal. Once the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 reaches operating temperature and closed loop is achieved, the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 generates a voltage within a range of 0-1 000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. High heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running and setting the DTC. The DTC should not set.

Circuit/System Testing

Note: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2.
  2. Ignition OFF, measure for less than 5 Ω between the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 low signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    3. ⇒If more than the specified range, test the appropriate HO2S low signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter is approximately 450 mV.
    4. ⇒If more than the specified value, test the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 high signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
    ⇒If less than the specified value, test the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 high signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  4. Ignition ON, install a 3 A fused jumper wire at the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 high signal circuit terminal 2. Toggle the other end of the jumper wire between the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 low signal circuit terminal 4 and battery voltage. Verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S 2 parameter toggles between 0 mV and about 1 000 mV.
    5. ⇒If the scan tool B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 parameter does not toggle correctly, test the B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2 high signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate B52B Heated Oxygen Sensor 2.
