Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The engine control module (ECM) supplies a voltage near 450 mV between the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2 signal circuit and the low reference circuit. The HO2S varies the voltage over a range from about 1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
- The ECM monitors the HO2S voltage to determine if the signal voltage goes below a predetermined threshold within a certain amount of time. If the ECM determines that the signal voltage remains above a threshold, the ECM commands a lean condition. If the signal voltage does not go below the threshold within a certain amount of time after commanding the system lean, this DTC sets.
- The ECM monitors the HO2S voltage during fuel cut-off. If the ECM determines that the signal voltage is more than a predetermined voltage during fuel cut-off, this DTC sets.
