The HO2S 2 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 2 voltage signal will fluctuate greater than and less than the bias voltage amount. The action in the test step should result in a visible reaction from the HO2S 2 output. - 4
A voltage reading other than the specified amount in this step indicates an open circuit condition in one of the signal circuits or the PCM. - 5
This step inspects for an open circuit condition in the signal circuits, independent of the PCM. - 7
The conditions listed in the table may contribute to the failure of the HO2S. The conditions listed apply only to this type of failure.
