Circuit Description
The oxygen sensor heater is a device used to reduce the time that the sensor takes to go active. The PCM controls the fuel control oxygen sensor heaters using three separate drivers. The PCM uses a current monitoring driver to test the condition of the heaters. A high side driver provides HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 heater with ignition voltage. A fused ignition feed provides bank 2 sensor 1 with ignition voltage. Both heater receive ground through a low side driver (warm-up driver).
With the engine running, the PCM turns ON the high side, and the low side driver to warm-up the oxygen sensors. When the proper conditions are present, the PCM keeps the high side driver ON, turns ON the current monitor driver, and then turns OFF the warm-up driver. This allows the PCM to record a total current value for both of the fuel control heaters. If the test conditions remain stable, the PCM enters the second stage of the test. During this stage, the PCM keeps the current monitor ON, and turns OFF the high side driver. This allows the PCM to record a current value for the bank 2 sensor 1 heater circuit. The PCM subtracts the bank 2 sensor 1 current value from the total current value to determine the current value for bank 1 sensor 1. If the PCM detects a bank 1 sensor 1 current value outside the calibrated range, DTC P0135 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | HO2S heater DTCs are not set. |
| • | The system voltage during the current measurement is steady within 1 volt of actual system voltage. |
| • | Engine speed is between 500 and 3000 RPM. |
| • | MAF is between 4 and 30 g/s. |
| • | HO2S overtemp control is inactive. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects a bank 1 sensor 1 current value outside the calibrated range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test runs and fails. |
| • | The PCM stores the conditions present when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and Fail Records data. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The PCM will turn the MIL OFF after the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles have occurred without a malfunction. |
| • | The DTC can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear DTC Information function. |
Diagnostic Aids
Notice: Do not solder heated oxygen sensor wires. Soldering the wires will result in the loss of the air reference to the sensor. Refer to Engine Electrical for proper wire and connection repair techniques.
If the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .
