Diagnostic Fault Information

The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater reduces the time required for the oxygen sensor to reach operating temperature and maintains the operating temperature during extended idle periods. When the ignition is turned to the ON position, ignition voltage is supplied directly to the sensor heater. The engine control module (ECM) controls the heater operation by first modulating the control circuit to ground when the sensors are cold. This prevents the possibility of thermal shock to the sensor, from condensation build-up on the sensor, by controlling the sensors rate of heating. After a predetermined amount of time, the ECM commands the heaters ON continuously. Once the sensor reaches operating temperature, the ECM may modulate the heater control circuit to ground, to maintain a desired temperature.

The ECM controls the heater by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

Conditions for Running the DTC

P0030, P0031, P0032

•	The ignition voltage is between 10-18 V.

•	The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.

•	The HO2S heater is commanded ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.

•	The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met for 1 s.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

P0030

The ECM detects an open in the heater circuits of the HO2S when the heater is commanded ON.

P0031

The ECM detects a short to ground in the heater circuits of the HO2S when the heater is commanded ON.

P0032

The ECM detects a short to voltage in the heater circuits of the HO2S when the heater is commanded ON.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0030, P0031 and P0032 are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0030, P0031 and P0032 are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

•	If the condition is intermittent, move the harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the scan tool Circuit Status parameters for the component. The Circuit Status parameters change from OK or Not Run to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection.

•

An open fuse in the HO2S heater circuit may be caused by the heater element. The condition may not be present until the sensor operates for a period of time. If no fault is present in the heater circuit, monitor the amperage of the heater using the DMM to determine if the heater element is the cause of the open fuse. Inspect the sensor pigtail or the harness for contacting the exhaust system.

Circuit/System Verification

Engine idling at operating temperature for at least 30 s. Observe the DTC information, DTCs P0030, P0031 or P0032 should not set.
Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor.
Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal D and ground.

Note: The ignition circuit supplies voltage to other components. Make sure you test all circuits for a short to ground or test all components for being shorted that share the ignition circuit.

⇒	If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.

Connect a test lamp between the heater control circuit terminal C and B+. The test lamp should not illuminate.

⇒	If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

Command the HO2S Heater 9-95% with a scan tool. The test lamp should react to the commanded state.

⇒	If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor.

Component Testing

Static Test

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor.
Test the B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor resistance for 5-25 Ω.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor.
