Circuit 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. The control module supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias voltage of about 450 mV. While the engine runs, the HO2S heats up and begins to generate a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV. This voltage will fluctuate above and below the bias voltage. 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 above bias voltage toward 1,000 mV indicates a rich fuel mixture. An HO2S voltage that decreases below bias voltage 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. Engine idling, observe the appropriate scan tool HO2S 1 voltage parameter. The voltage should fluctuate above and below the range of 350-550 mV.
2. 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
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate HO2S.
2. Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool HO2S voltage parameter is between 350-500 mV.
• If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
3. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the scan tool HO2S voltage parameter is less than 60 mV.
• If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
4. Connect a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the low reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool HO2S voltage parameter is less than 60 mV.
• If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
5. Verify that the following conditions do not exist:
* Leaking fuel injectors.
* High fuel system pressure-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (Component Tests and General Diagnostics) .
* Fuel that is contaminated-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (with Special Tool) (Alcohol/Contaminants-In-Fuel Diagnosis (With Special Tool))Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (w/o Special Tool) (Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool)) .
* Restricted exhaust.
• If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
6. If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the appropriate HO2S.
