The HO2S 1 voltage may default to the bias voltage. The DTC should be cleared and the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data recorded before proceeding. A normally functioning HO2S 1 voltage signal will fluctuate greater than and less than the bias voltage amount. - 4
A voltage reading other than the specified amount in this step indicates an open circuit condition in the high signal circuit or the PCM. - 6
This step inspects the HO2S 1 signal circuits from the HO2S connector and the PCM connectors, including the low reference loop between the PCM connectors. - 8
This step inspects for correct HO2S 1 heater circuit operation up to the HO2S connector. The heater low control is controlled by the PCM. The engine must be running to enable the HO2S heater. - 9
