Circuit/System Description

The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S 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 HO2S signal voltage while calculating the air-to-fuel ratio. While the engine runs, the HO2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1 275 mV. Once sufficient HO2S voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, closed loop is entered. The control module uses the HO2S voltage to determine the air-to-fuel ratio. An HO2S voltage that increases toward 1 000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An HO2S voltage that decreases toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.

The heating elements inside each HO2S heat the sensor to bring the sensor up to operating conditions faster. This allows the system to enter closed loop earlier and the control module to calculate the air to fuel ratio sooner.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. If any heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater DTCs are set, perform those diagnostics first.
  2. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature.
  3. Engine running, observe the affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) parameter with a scan tool.
    4. • The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 value should vary from below 200 mV to above 800 mV and respond to fuelling changes.
    • The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 value should change more than 200 mV when the throttle is quickly cycled 3 times from closed to wide open and back to closed after running the engine at 1 500 RPM for 30 s.

    Caution: Refer to Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Caution in the Preface section.

  4. The affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) may be damaged due to contamination. Prior to replacing the affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), inspect for the following sources of contamination:
    5. • A silicon contaminated HO2S
    • Fuel contamination, refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
    • Engine oil consumption, refer to Oil Consumption Diagnosis
    • Engine coolant consumption, refer to Loss of Coolant
  5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.
