The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. A heating element inside the HO2S minimizes the time required for the sensor to reach operating temperature. Voltage is provided to the heater by the ignition 1 voltage circuit through a fuse. Ground is provided to the heater on the low control circuit by a low side driver within the control module. The control module monitors the current draw of the heater to determine if a failure is present.

The HO2S utilizes the following circuits:

P0030

P0036

P0030

The ECM detects that the HO2S 1 heater current is less than 0.1 amp for 3 seconds.

P0036

The ECM detects that the HO2S 2 heater current is less than 0.1 amp for 13 seconds.

DTCs P0030 and P0036 are Type B DTCs.

DTCs P0030 and P0036 are Type B DTCs.

Important: It may take up to 8 minutes for the DTC to set.

1. Engine at normal operating temperature, operate the engine above 1,200 RPM for 30 seconds and then allow the engine to idle. DTCs P0030 or P0036 should not set.
2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
2. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volt between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 2 and 12 volts.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 3 and B+.

⇒	If test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

4. Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 volt between the control circuit terminal 3 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the HO2S.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
2. Test for 3-35 ohms of resistance between the ignition 1 voltage terminal 2 and the control terminal 3.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the HO2S.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
