  1. 2

    As the heater warms the oxygen sensor to operating temperature, the HO2S will output a voltage in relation to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, the exhaust usually contains a high oxygen content. With the engine OFF, the HO2S voltage will usually decrease from the initial bias voltage due to the high oxygen content.
  2. 6

    This step tests for a proper HO2S heater ignition feed and ground supply.
  3. 7

    This step tests for proper control module and signal circuit operation.
