  1. 2

    After the ignition is turned ON, the HO2S heater heats up causing the HO2S signal voltage to either increase or decrease. This indicates that the HO2S heater is okay.
  2. 3

    If the HO2S voltage is varying outside the specified range, the condition is not present.
  3. 5

    If the voltage is below the specified value, the high signal circuit, the low signal circuit, and the PCM are okay.
  4. 6

    If the voltage is above the specified value, the low signal circuit is okay.
  5. 12

    All oxygen sensors must be disconnected to isolate a short to ground in the HO2S heater ignition 1 voltage circuit.
  6. 14

    Resistance within the specified range indicates the HO2S heater is okay.
