  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 voltage due to the high oxygen content.

  2. 4

    This step checks for proper HO2S heater ignition positive voltage and ground supply.

  3. 5

    This step tests for proper PCM and signal circuit operation.
