Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0130, P0136, P0150, or P0156

Step	Action	Values	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics Connector End View Reference: Engine Controls Connector End Views or Engine Control Module (ECM) Connector End Views
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check-Engine Controls?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls
2	Allow the engine to idle at operating temperature. Refer to Scan Tool Data List . Observe the affected HO2S parameter with a scan tool. Clear the DTCs and record the Freeze/Frame Failure Records. Operate the engine at 2,000 RPM for at least 1 minute, then allow to idle. Vary the engine speed from idle to 3,000 RPM several times within 5 seconds. Did the voltage react immediately to the above action?	-	Go to Step 3	Go to Step 4
3	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 4	Go to Intermittent Conditions
4	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the affected heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Observe the affected HO2S parameter with a scan tool. Is the voltage within the specified range?	425-475 mV	Go to Step 6	Go to Step 5
5	Test the affected HO2S high signal circuit for the following conditions: A short to ground A short to the affected HO2S low signal circuit A short to the affected HO2S heater low control circuit-Refer to Circuit Testing , Wiring Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 8
6	Inspect for the following that may affect the HO2S operation: NOTE: Refer to Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Notice in Cautions and Notices. HO2S contamination-Inspect the HO2S for contamination. NOTE: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Notice in Cautions and Notices. Chafed, burnt, cut, pinched, or otherwise damaged HO2S wiring The HO2S must have a clean air reference in order to function properly. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the HO2S wires. Obstruction of the air reference and degraded HO2S performance could result from any attempt to repair the above conditions. Exhaust system leaks or restrictions Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system malfunction-Inspect the EVAP control system. Refer to Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Set Procedure . Incorrect fuel pressure - Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Goo to Step 7
7	Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the affected HO2S. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , Connector Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 9
8	Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the engine control module (ECM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 10
9	Replace the affected HO2S. Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement Bank 1 Sensor 1 , Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement Bank 1 Sensor 2 , Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement Bank 2 Sensor 1 , or Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement Bank 2 Sensor 2 . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 11	-
10	Replace the ECM. Refer to Engine Control Module (ECM) Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 11	-
11	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 12
12	Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	-	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List	System OK
