Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac G5 Pursuit, 2007 Pontiac G5, and 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the sensor.
- Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the HO2S heater voltage supply circuit and ground. The lamp should illuminate.
- If the lamp does not illuminate, test the voltage supply circuit for and open/high resistance or a short to ground.
- If the circuit tests normal and its fuse is open, replace the HO2S.
- Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the HO2S low control circuit and battery voltage. The lamp should not illuminate.
- If the lamp illuminates, test the low control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- Engine running, leave the test lamp connected from the previous step. The lamp should flash or be ON steady.
- If the test lamp is not on steady or flashing, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
- Ignition OFF, install a 30A fused jumper wire from the heater supply circuit terminal to the heater control circuit terminal.
- Engine running, observe with a scan tool that the Heater parameter indicates 0.0A.
- If more than the specified value, test the heater voltage supply and control circuits for resistance greater than 3 ohms. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module.
- If the control module and all circuits test normal, replace the HO2S.
