In order to control
emissions of the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, heated
oxygen sensor (HO2S), mounted on the front side and rear side of catalytic
converter, detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The front HO2S
signal is used to control air/fuel ratio (closed loop fuel control) and
the rear HO2S signal is used to monitor front HO2S and catalyst for proper
operation. The HO2S requires a minimum temperature to operate properly and
provide a closed loop fuel control system. The HO2S contains the heater
element to reduce its warming-up time and ensure its performance during
all driving conditions. The oxygen sensor generates a voltage that
indicates the difference between the oxygen content of the exhaust stream
and the oxygen content of ambient air. When the exhaust stream is “rich,”
there is more oxygen in the ambient air than in the exhaust stream, so the
voltage will be higher.
Checking output signals
from HO2S under detecting condition, if an output signal is above 1.3V for
more than predetermined time, PCM sets P0132. MIL(Malfunction Indication
Lamp) turns on when the malfunction lasts till consecutive 2 driving
cycle.

After warming-up, if
accelerator pedal is released suddenly around 4000rpm, the HO2S signal
reading will be lower than 200mV resulting from Fuel cut-off for the
moment. Conversely, if suddenly accelerator pedal is depressed, HO2S
signal reading will be around 0.6V ~ 1.0V. At idle, Normally HO2S signal
will switch from lean to rich with 3 Hz. At higher engine RPM, the
switching frequency increases.

Check DTC Status
| (1) |
Connect scantool to Data Link
Connector(DLC). |
| (3) |
Select "DTC" button, and then Press "DTC
Status" to check DTC's information from the DTCs
menu. |
| (4) |
Read "DTC Status"
parameter.
|
| (5) |
Is parameter displayed "Present
fault"?
|
|
▶ Go
to "Terminal and connector inspection"
procedure.
|
|
|
▶
Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the
sensor's and/or PCM's connector or was repaired and PCM
memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for
looseness, poor connection, ending, corrosion,
contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or
replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle
Repair"
procedure.
|
| |
| Terminal And Connector
Inspection |
| 1. |
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are
caused by poor harness and terminal condition. Faults can also be
caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical
or chemical damage. |
| 2. |
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness,
poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration,
or damage. |
| 3. |
Has a problem been found?
|
|
▶ Repair as
necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure
|
|
|
▶ Go to
"Signal Circuit Inspection"
procedure.

■ Check Short To Battery In Harness
| 1. |
IG "OFF" and disconnect HO2S(B1/S1)
connector. |
| 3. |
Measure voltage between signal terminal of
HO2S(B1/S1) harness connector and chassis ground.

Approx. 3.5V - when pumping current is
ON
Approx. 0.45V - when pumping current is

Is the measured voltage within
specification?
|
|
▶ Go to
"Component Inspection" procedure.
|
|
|
▶ Repair
short to battery in harness, and go to "Verification of

Check the Signal waveform of HO2S
| (1) |
IG "OFF" and connect HO2S
connector. |
| (3) |
After warming-up, monitor signal
waveform of HO2S with scantool.
|
| (4) |
Is the sensor switching
properly?
|
|
▶ Go
to "Check HO2S" as indicated below.
|
|
|
▶
Substitute with a known - good HO2S and check for proper
operation. If the problem is corrected, go to
"Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure
|
| |

Check HO2S
| (1) |
IG "OFF" and disconnect HO2S
connector. |
| (2) |
Check that the HO2S is securely
installed. |
| (3) |
Check the HO2S for contamination or
damage |
| (4) |
Is the sensor normal?
|
|
▶
Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper
operation. If the problem is corrected, go to
"Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.
|
|
|
▶
Substitute with a known - good HO2S and check for proper

There is a memory reset function
on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically
detected and memorized by PCM. Before or after testing
PCM on the vehicle, use this function before reusing the
PCM | | |
