Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. 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

    After the ignition is turned ON, the HO2S heater heats up causing the HO2S signal voltage to either increase or decrease. This indicates that the HO2S heater is okay.

  2. 3

    If the HO2S voltage changes more than the specified value, the condition is not present.

  3. 5

    If the voltage is at less than the specified value, the high signal circuit, the low signal circuit, and the PCM are okay.

  4. 6

    If the voltage is at greater than the specified value, the low signal circuit is okay.

  5. 14

    Resistance at less than the specified value indicates the HO2S heater is shorted.
