The engine control module (ECM) supplies a voltage near 450 mV between the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) high signal circuit and the low reference circuit. The HO2S varies the voltage over a range from about 1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean. The ECM monitors and stores the HO2S voltage information. The ECM evaluates the HO2S voltage samples in order to determine the amount of time that the HO2S voltage was out of range. The ECM compares the stored HO2S voltage samples taken within each sample period and determines if the majority of the samples are out of the operating range.

The ECM detects that the HO2S signal voltage is out of range for greater than 4 seconds.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, observe the appropriate scan tool HO2S voltage parameter. The reading should be less than 1,050 mV.
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, and the MAIN fuse removed, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate HO2S.
2. Install the MAIN fuse. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool HO2S parameter is between 350-500 mV.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to the heater circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.

3. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the applicable HO2S.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
