  1. Start the engine.
  2. Command the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 heater ON with a scan tool.
  3. Wait 15 seconds to allow the HO2S 1 heater current to stabilize.
  4. Observe the HO2S 1 heater current parameter with a scan tool.
Is the HO2S 1 heater current parameter within the specified range?
0.301-1.7 A Go to Step 3  Go to Step 6 
3 Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
Did the DTC fail with an engine run time of less than 10 seconds?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5 
4
  1. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the Heater Resistance Test.
  2. Start the engine.
Did the DTC fail the ignition?
- Go to Step 6  Go to Intermittent Conditions
5
  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the Heater Current Test. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Did the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 6  Go to Intermittent Conditions
6
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Inspect the emission 1 fuse.
Is the emission 1 fuse open?
- Go to Step 7  Go to Step 8 
7 Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing , Wiring Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 22  Go to Step 10 
8
  1. Disconnect the HO2S 1.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Probe the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the HO2S harness connector on the engine harness side with a test lamp that is connected to a good ground. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors in Wiring Systems.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 9  Go to Step 19 
9
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Probe the HO2S heater low control circuit of the HO2S harness connector on the engine harness side with a test lamp connected to battery voltage.
  3. With the ignition still OFF, observe the test lamp.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
10 Test the ignition 1 voltage circuit on the sensor side of the HO2S 1 connector for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.
Is the sensor shorted to ground?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Intermittent Conditions
11 Start the engine, with the test lamp still connected from the previous step.
Is the test lamp on steady or blinking?
- Go to Step 12  Go to Step 14 
12 Measure the resistance of the following circuits:
  • HO2S heater low control circuit
  • Ignition 1 voltage circuit

    Refer to Circuit Testing in Wiring Systems.


Is the resistance of either circuit more than the specified value?
3 ohm Go to Step 18  Go to Step 16 
13 Test the HO2S heater low control circuit for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing , Wiring Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 22  Go to Step 17 
14 Test the HO2S heater low control circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing , Wiring Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 22  Go to Step 15 
15 Test the HO2S heater low control circuit for an open or for high resistance. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 22  Go to Step 17 
16 Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the HO2S. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections ,Connector Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 22  Go to Step 20 
17 Test for shorted terminals and for poor connections at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections , Connector Repairs , and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 22  Go to Step 21 
18 Repair the circuit with high resistance. Refer to Wiring Repairs and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you complete the repair?
- Go to Step 22  -
19 Repair the open or high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs and Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.
Did you complete the repair?
- Go to Step 22  -
20
NOTE: Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Resistance Learn Reset Notice in Cautions and Notices.
Replace the HO2S 1. Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement (Pre-Catalyst) or Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Replacement (Post-Catalyst) .Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 22  -
21 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 22  -
22 Were you sent to this diagnostic from DTC P0134? - Go to Step 18 in DTC P0134  Go to Step 23 
23 Were you sent to this diagnostic from DTC P0130? - Go to Step 18 in DTC P0130  Go to Step 24
