Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
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. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no B52 HO2S heater DTCs are set.
• If a B52 HO2S heater DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
2. Engine running, observe the appropriate scan tool B52 HO2S voltage parameter. The reading should be within the range of 50-1,050 mV.
3. 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
Note: All modules must be powered down or misdiagnosis may result.
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate B52 HO2S.
2. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 minutes, test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool B52 HO2S parameter is approximately 450 mV.
• If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
• If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
4. Ignition ON, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the appropriate scan tool B52 HO2S parameter is less than 60 mV.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate B52 HO2S.
