INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE (I/M) HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR/OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S/O2S) SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this test is to satisfy the enable criteria necessary to execute I/M readiness diagnostics for the oxygen sensor (O2S, HO2S) system.The test may be used to set the I/M System Status to YES. The I/M System Status display on the scan tool provides an indication of whether the control module has completed the required tests.The I/M System Status does not indicate that the tests have passed or failed.When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed,the I/M System Status will update to YES.If a test for a specific system has failed,the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the other tests for that system have not run.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is less than 35°C (95°F).
- The engine is running in Closed Loop fuel control.
- The engine has been running for more than 1 minute.
- The battery voltage is between 9-18 volts.
- The mass air flow (MAF) is between 15-31 grams per second.
- The engine speed is between 1,300-3,000 RPM.
- The throttle position (TP) sensor is more than 2 percent.
- The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is between 33-120 km/h (20-75 mph).
- The short term fuel trim is between 97.5-102.5.
- The intake air temperature (IAT) is less than 35°C (95°F).
- The startup engine coolant temperature (ECT) and IAT are within 6°C (10.8°F) of each other.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load such as a cooling fan or A/C compressor clutch turning ON may cause the test to abort.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
