Signal Missing. Permanent Fault
Signal missing. Permanent fault
Checking the connector
- Ignition off
- Check the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle.
Read off the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status for the front heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
The text NOT READY is displayed if the diagnostic is still running.

Is FAULT NOT DETECTED displayed?
Yes - FAULT FOUND
No - Checking components and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking components and wiring
Check the resistance of the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) between terminals #3 and #4.
Check the signal cable between heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #4 and control module terminal #A18 (#A18). Check the power supply between system relay terminal #3 and heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) terminal #3. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off.
- Reinstall components, reconnect connectors etc.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
Read off the front heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) signal diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status.
The text NOT READY is displayed if diagnosis is underway.

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing
No - Attempt New Test
