Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 2

    Before you perform this test, the engine must be at the normal operating temperature.

  2. 3

    The Freeze Frame/Failure Records data may help to locate an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data can help to determine how many miles have occurred since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and the Pass Counter can also help to determine the number of ignition cycles during which the diagnostic reported a pass and/or a fail. In order to isolate when the DTC failed, operate the vehicle within the same Freeze Frame conditions that the PCM recorded. These conditions include the RPM, the vehicle load, the vehicle speed, and the temperature.

  3. 4

    If the scan tool indicates the HO2S voltage goes below 200 mV, the HO2S circuits and PCM are okay.

  4. 5

    This step verifies whether the signal circuit from the PCM is okay.

  5. 6

    This step verifies whether the low signal circuit from the PCM is okay. A voltage indicates the PCM and wiring are okay.

  6. 7

    Disconnecting the PCM allows using a Digital Multimeter (DMM) in order to test the circuit continuity. This procedure helps to locate a circuit that is open or shorted.
