Heated oxygen sensor monitors exhaust gas oxygen content and delivers an input signal to ECM. ECM uses input signal to determine fuel injection system operation. Heated oxygen sensors include a heater. DTC is set when heated oxygen sensor heater current draw exceeds 2 amps or heated oxygen sensor heater current draw is .2 amps or less when heater operates. Possible causes are:
- Open or short in heated oxygen sensor circuit.
- Faulty heated oxygen sensor heater.
