Diagnostic Procedures
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Run engine above 1500 RPM for one minute. Ensure ECT is above 158°F (70°C). Let engine idle. Using scan tool, monitor HO2S bank 1 sensor 1. If reading is varying outside 400-538 mV, problem intermittent. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . If reading is not varying outside 400-538 mV, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on, engine off. Disconnect HO2S bank 1 sensor 1. Connect jumper between HO2S connector terminal No. 4 (Purple/White wire) and ground. If reading is less than 40 mV, go to next step. If reading is not less than 40 mV, check Purple/White wire between HO2S and ECM for open. If wire is okay, replace ECM.
- Connect jumper between HO2S connector terminals No. 3 (Tan/White wire) and No. 4 (Purple/White wire). If reading is less than 40 mV, check HO2S connector. If connector is okay, replace HO2S bank 1 sensor 1. If reading is not less than 40 mV, check Tan/White wire between HO2S and ECM for open. If wire is okay, replace ECM.
