- With engine speed still at 1200-2000 RPM, read LOOP MODE. If scan tool displays CLOSED LOOP, see DIAGNOSTIC AID S. If scan tool does not display CLOSED LOOP, go to step 8.
- If voltage stays within 0.3-0.6 volt longer than it stays out of range, go to step 8. If voltage stays outside 0.3-0.6 volt longer than it stays within range, go to next step.
- Check for faulty connection at VCM HO2S (bank 2, sensor 1) harness connector terminal. If connection is okay, go to next step. If faulty connection is found, go to step 10.
