Circuit/System Description

The heated oxygen sensors 1 or 2 are used for fuel control and catalyst monitoring. Each heated oxygen sensor 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 heated oxygen sensor signal voltage while calculating the air to fuel ratio. The control module supplies the heated oxygen sensor with a reference, or bias voltage of about 450 mV. While the engine runs, each heated oxygen sensor heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1000 mV. This voltage will fluctuate above and below the bias voltage. Once sufficient heated oxygen sensors 1 or 2 voltage fluctuation is observed by the control module, closed loop is entered. The control module uses the heated oxygen sensor voltage to determine the air to fuel ratio. An heated oxygen sensor voltage that increases above bias voltage toward 1000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An heated oxygen sensor voltage that decreases below bias voltage toward 0 mV indicates a lean fuel mixture.

The heating elements inside each heated oxygen sensor 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.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0031 00, and P0030 02

    • The ignition is ON.
    • The ignition voltage is between 11-18 V.
    • DTCs P0031 00, and P0032 00 run continuously when the above conditions are met for 0.5 s.

P0135 00

    • DTCs P0031 00, P0032 00, are not set.
    • The engine is running.
    • The ignition voltage is between 11-18 V.
    • DTC P0135 00 runs continuously.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0031 00, and P0032 00

    • The ECM detects that the difference between the predicted voltage and the actual voltage exceeds a calibrated limit.
    • DTCs P0031 00, and P0032 00 set when the above condition is met.

P0135 00

    • The ECM detects that the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 heater resistance is more than 1200 Ω.
    • DTC P0135 00 sets within 30 s during the heater current test when the above condition is met.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0031 00, P0032 00, P0135 00 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P0031 00, P0032 00, P0135 00 are Type B DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification

  1. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.
  2. 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.

Circuit/System Testing

You must perform the circuit/system verification before proceeding with circuit/system testing.

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 ignition Circuit terminal 4 and ground.
  3. If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and its fuse F11 is open, test all components connected to the fuse and replace as necessary.
  4. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 control circuit terminal 2 and the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 ignition circuit terminal 4.
  5. If the test lamp illuminates, test the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  6. Engine running, leave the test lamp connected from the previous step. The lamp should flash or be ON steady.
  7. If the test lamp is not ON steady or flashing, test the B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1 control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
  8. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate B52A Heated Oxygen Sensor 1.
