- Time elapsed after engine start-up greater than 200 seconds
- Oxygen sensor heating switched on for at least 120 seconds
Possible cause of fault
- Loose contact or corrosion in connector
- Open circuit in the oxygen sensor signal wire
- Open circuit in the oxygen sensor ground wire
- Oxygen sensor faulty
- DME control module faulty
Affected terminals
