Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Pontiac Firebird, 2000 Chevrolet Corvette, and 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For any test that requires probing ECM or component harness connectors, use Connector Test Adapter Kit (J-35616-A). This will prevent damage to harness connector terminals. Check for the following conditions:
HO2S pigtail or harness may be mispositioned and contacting exhaust system. Inspect harness connectors for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, corrosion or water intrusion.
An oxygen supply inside HO2S is necessary for proper operation. This supply of oxygen is provided through HO2S wiring harness. All HO2S wires and connections should be inspected for breaks or contamination. Repair as necessary.
