Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition/Vehicle & All vehicle systems - Off
  2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor
  3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode & Engine - Off
  4. Test for 1.7 to 3.0 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4 & Ground
    • If less than 1.7 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4 & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    4. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • If greater than 3.0 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4 & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V - Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step: If between 1.7 and 3 V 
  5. Verify the scan tool parameter:HO2S 1, 2 = 1.7 to 3.0 V
    • If less than 1.7 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Test for infinite resistance between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If less than infinite resistance - Repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • If infinite resistance - Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step: If between 1.7 and 3.0 V 
  6. Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 4 & Signal circuit terminal 3
  7. Verify the scan tool parameter:HO2S 1, 2 = 0.0 V
    • If greater than 0.0 V 
    1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off & Remove - Jumper wire(s)
    2. Disconnect the appropriate electrical connector:K20 Engine Control Module
    3. Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
    4. Test for less than 1 V between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & Ground
      • If 1 V or greater - Repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If less than 1 V
    5. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    6. Test for less than 2 ohms between the test points:Signal circuit terminal 3 @ Component harness & The other end of the circuit @ Control module harness
      • If 2 ohms or greater - Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 ohms - Replace the component:K20 Engine Control Module
    • Go to next step: If 0.0 V 
  8. Verify the following conditions do not exist:
    • B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor - Water intrusion @ Harness Connector
    • Evaporative Emission Canister - Saturated with fuel
    • Exhaust System - Leaking
    • Fuel - Contaminated/Poor Quality - Refer to:Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
    • Fuel Pressure - High/Low - Refer to:Fuel System Diagnosis
    • Vacuum leak @ Engine/Hoses/Lines
    • If a condition exists 

      Repair or replace as necessary.

    • Go to next step: If no conditions exist 
  9. Test or replace the component:B52 Heated Oxygen Sensor
