Test 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 numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This step determines if the condition exists. If there is a short to voltage condition with the HO2S circuits, the ECM commands open loop for the applicable sensor.
  2. 4:  This step tests for a bias voltage across the reference voltage circuit and the low reference circuit of the HO2S. The bias voltage that you are measuring, is the voltage difference between the reference voltage circuit and the low reference circuit. If the reference voltage circuit or the low reference circuit of the HO2S is shorted to a voltage, the bias voltage will be more than the specified value, which indicates there is a condition with the circuits.
  3. 5:  This step tests for a short to voltage on the input pumping current circuit and the pump current circuit of the HO2S. The input pumping current circuit and the pump current circuit are connected internally within the ECM. If one of the circuits are shorted to voltage, the other circuit will be affected.
  4. 7:  This step isolates if the condition is with the reference voltage circuit or the low reference circuit. If the voltage is less than the specified value, the condition is with low reference circuit.
  5. 11:  This step inspects the harness connector for water intrusion, corrosion, and bent or damaged pins.
  6. 12:  This step inspects the harness connector for water intrusion, corrosion, and bent or damaged pins.
