Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. 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. 4:  This step tests for high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the HO2S. If the DMM does not display near battery voltage, repair the high resistance in the ignition 1 voltage circuit.
  2. 5:  This step tests the HO2S heater control circuit for a high resistance. Six amps through the DMM is normal when the HO2S heater control circuit is commanded ON with a scan tool. A high resistance in the circuit will cause the amperage to be less than 1 amp. Test the HO2S heater control circuit for a high resistance if the DMM displays a reading of less than 1 amp.
  3. 9:  This step tests the HO2S input pump current circuit for a wire to wire short to the reference voltage circuit or a condition internal to the PCM. If the resistance measured between the circuits is more than 110,000 ohms, the PCM and the circuits are OK.
  4. 10:  This step isolates the condition. Test for a wire to wire short between the HO2S input pump current and reference voltage circuits, if any continuity exists between the circuits.
  5. 15:  Inspect the HO2S connector for water intrusion, corrosion, and bent or damaged terminals.
  6. 16:  Inspect the PCM connectors for water intrusion, corrosion, and bent or damaged terminals.
