H02S Heater Control Circuit Low
NOTE: The diagnosis for this fault is different for models with turbo engines and models with naturally-aspirated engines.
Diagnosis/troubleshooting - all turbo models
Diagnostic conditions
- Battery positive voltage between 10 V and 16 V
- Time elapsed after engine start-up greater than 10 seconds
Possible cause of fault
- Short circuit to ground in triggering wire
- Corrosion in connector, e.g. caused by moisture in the connector, etc.
- Oxygen sensor faulty
- DME control module faulty
Affected pins
DME control module connector II, pin 13 and oxygen sensor connector ahead of catalytic converter, bank 2, pin 4.
Diagnosis/troubleshooting - all turbo models
NOTE: Do not use contact spray on the oxygen sensor plug connections as this may cause irreparable damage to the wiring (contamination of the oxygen sensor via the reference air channel).
Diagnosis/troubleshooting - all naturally-aspirated models
Diagnostic conditions
- Battery positive voltage between 10 V and 16 V
- Engine running
Possible cause of fault
- Short circuit to ground in triggering wire
- Corrosion in connector
- Oxygen sensor faulty
- DME control module faulty
Affected terminals
DME control module, connector II, pin 13 and oxygen sensor jack ahead of catalytic converter, bank 2, pin 2.
Diagnosis/troubleshooting
NOTE: Do not use contact spray on the oxygen sensor plug connections as this may cause irreparable damage to the wiring (contamination of the oxygen sensor via the reference air channel).
