12. Test-drive under these conditions:

- Engine coolant temperature (ECT SENSOR 1) above 158 °F (70 °C)
- A/T in D, or M/T in 4th
- Engine speed between 1,500-3,000 rpm
- Drive 35 seconds or more

13. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

YES -

Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.

NO -

Go to step 14.

14. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P2270 and/or P2272*in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
