Heated Oxygen Sensor (Ho2S) Activation Requirements

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, 2014 Jaguar XKR, and 2013 Jaguar XKR-S. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If the sensor has not become active, then DTCs will not be logged.

The drive cycle required to activate all of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) can vary greatly in time. This is dependent on all of the sensors reaching 'dew point' during previous drive cycles. 'Dew point' is where the moisture content in the exhaust has evaporated and can no longer damage the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S). The closer a Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) is to the engine, the faster it will achieve 'dew point'. Once a Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) has reached 'dew point' the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) heating is activated and shortly afterwards the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) will be functional. Once functional the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) diagnostics become active and can report any error states with a DTC.
