HO2S Heater

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. A heating element inside the HO2S minimizes the time required for the sensor to reach operating temperature. Voltage is provided to the heater by an ignition voltage circuit through a fuse. With the engine running, ground is provided to the heater by the HO2S heater low control circuit, through a low side driver within the engine control module (ECM). The ECM uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the HO2S heater operation to maintain a specific HO2S operating temperature range.

MAF Sensor

Circuit Description

The intake flow rationality diagnostic provides the within-range rationality check for the mass air flow (MAF), the manifold absolute pressure (MAP), and the throttle position (TP) sensors. This is an explicit model-based diagnostic containing 4 separate models for the intake system.

  1. The throttle model describes the flow through the throttle body, and is used to estimate the MAF through the throttle body as a function of barometric pressure (BARO), TP, intake air temperature (IAT), and estimated MAP. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the MAF Performance Test parameter.
  2. The first intake manifold model describes the intake manifold, and is used to estimate MAP as a function of the MAF into the manifold from the throttle body, and the MAF out of the manifold caused by engine pumping. The flow into the manifold from the throttle uses the MAF estimate calculated from the above throttle model. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the MAP Performance Test 1 parameter.
  3. The second intake manifold model is identical to the first intake manifold model except that the MAF sensor measurement is used instead of the throttle model estimate for the throttle air input. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the MAP Performance Test 2 parameter.
  4. The fourth model is created from the combination and additional calculations of the throttle model and the first intake manifold model. The information from this model is displayed on the scan tool as the TP Performance Test parameter.

The estimates of MAF and MAP obtained from this system of models and calculations are then compared to the actual measured values from the MAF, the MAP, and the TP sensors and to each other to determine the appropriate DTC to fail. The following table illustrates the possible failure combinations and the resulting DTC or DTCs.

MAF Sensor

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is integrated with the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor. The MAF sensor is an air flow meter that measures the amount of air entering the engine. The engine control module (ECM) uses the MAF sensor signal to provide the correct fuel delivery for all engine speeds and loads. A small quantity of air entering the engine indicates a deceleration or idle condition. A large quantity of air entering the engine indicates an acceleration or high load condition. The MAF/IAT sensor has the following circuits

  1. An ignition 1 voltage circuit
  2. A ground circuit
  3. A MAF sensor signal circuit
  4. An IAT sensor signal circuit
  5. A low reference circuit

The ECM applies 5 volts to the MAF sensor on the MAF sensor signal circuit. The sensor uses the voltage to produce a frequency based on the inlet air flow through the sensor bore. The frequency varies within a range of near 1,700 Hertz at idle to near 10,000 Hertz at maximum engine load.

  1. The engine is running for greater than 1 second.
  2. The ignition 1 signal is greater than 8 volts.
  3. The above conditions are met for more than 1 second.
  4. This DTC runs continuously when the above enabling conditions are met.

P0102

The ECM detects that the MAF Sensor parameter is less than 10 Hz for more than 5 seconds.

P0103

The ECM detects that the MAF Sensor parameter is greater than 14,500 Hz for greater than 5 seconds.

DTCs P0102 and P0103 are Type B DTCs.

DTCs P0102 and P0103 are Type B DTCs.

  1. A steady or intermittent high resistance of 15 ohms or greater on the ignition 1 voltage circuit will cause the MAF sensor signal to be increased by as much as 60 g/s.
  2. Depending on the current ambient temperature, and the vehicle operating conditions, a MAF sensor signal circuit that is shorted to the IAT signal circuit will cause the fluctuation in the IAT Sensor parameter.

ECT Sensor Temperature

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the ECT sensor signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit.

The ECM uses this high side coolant rationality diagnostic to determine if the input from the ECT sensor is skewed warmer than normal. The internal clock of the ECM will record the amount of time the ignition is OFF. If the calibrated ignition OFF time is met at start-up, the ECM will compare the temperature difference between the ECT and the intake air temperature (IAT) to determine if the temperatures are within an acceptable operating range of each other.

  1. DTCs P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0128, P0502, P0503, P0601, P1621, P1627, P1680, P1681, P2610 are not set.
  2. The vehicle has had a minimum ignition OFF time of 8 hours.
  3. The ignition is ON.
  4. The start-up IAT is more than 10°C (50°F).
  5. The Fuel Level Sensor parameter is more than 2.5 percent.
  6. This DTC runs once per ignition cycle within the enabling conditions.
  1. The ECM detects a temperature difference at power-up that indicates that the ECT sensor is 30°C (54°F) more than the IAT sensor. OR
  2. The ECM detects a temperature difference at power-up that indicates that the ECT sensor is 16°C (29°F) more than the IAT sensor, and the time spent cranking the engine is more than 30 seconds, when the fuel level is more than 2.5 percent. OR
  3. The ECM detects a temperature difference at power-up that indicates that the ECT sensor is 16°C (29°F) more than the IAT sensor. Then the vehicle must be driven for more than 6 minutes and 40 seconds at more than 40 km/h (25 mph). If the IAT sensor then decreases more than 5°C (9°F), an engine block heater was detected and the test is aborted. If the IAT sensor does not decrease, an engine block heater was not detected and DTC P0116 will set.

DTC P0116 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0116 is a Type B DTC.

  1. Inspect the ECT sensor terminals for corrosion and for engine coolant leaking through the sensor. Engine coolant that is leaking through the sensor will create a high resistance short to ground. This condition results in less voltage on the ECT sensor signal circuit, which is interpreted by the ECM as a warmer ECT.
  2. An IAT sensor that is skewed colder at various ambient temperatures due to greater resistance than is normal will increase the range between these two sensors. Measure and record the resistance of the IAT sensor at various ambient temperatures, then compare those measurements to the Temperature vs. Resistance table. Refer to «Temperature Versus Resistance»(/cadillac/dts/i-2005-2011/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-fuel-system-46l-introduction-2-of-2__temperature-versus-resistance) .
  3. A slight to moderate resistance in the IAT sensor signal circuit or low reference circuit will increase the range between these 2 sensors. This conditions results in a greater voltage on the IAT sensor signal circuit, which is interpreted by the ECM as a colder IAT.

ECT Sensor Temperature

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the ECT sensor signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit.

The purpose of this diagnostic is to analyze the performance of the thermostat, by using the ECT sensor to determine if the engine coolant will increase at the correct rate, and also meet the calibrated target temperatures under various operating conditions.

The ECM uses the start-up ECT and the start-up intake air temperature (IAT) to begin the diagnostic calculation. The air flow into the engine is accumulated, and vehicle speed, distance, and engine run time are also factored in to determine if the ECT does increase normally and reach the calibrated target temperatures.

  1. DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0502, P0503 are not set.
  2. The start-up IAT is warmer than -7°C (+20°F).
  3. The start-up ECT is less than 80°C (176°F).
  4. The engine run time is between 60-1,370 seconds. The vehicle has traveled more than 0.8 kilometer (0.5 mile) at more than 8 km/h (5 mph).
  5. The mass air flow (MAF) is between 10-35 g/s.
  6. This DTC runs once per ignition cycle within the enabling conditions.

The ECM detects that the minimum ECT of 80°C (176°F) has not been met.

DTC P0128 is a Type B DTC.

DTC P0128 is a Type B DTC.

  1. DTC P0128 occurring with insufficient vehicle interior heating is an indication of improper thermostat operation.
  2. Inspect the ECT sensor terminals and the ECT harness connector for corrosion. This condition results in a greater voltage on the ECT sensor signal circuit, which is interpreted by the ECM as a colder ECT.
  3. This diagnostic runs in a specific range. Measure and record the resistance of the ECT sensor at various ambient temperatures between -7 to +80°C (+19 to +176°F), then compare those measurements to the Temperature vs Resistance table. Refer to «Temperature Versus Resistance»(/cadillac/dts/i-2005-2011/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-fuel-system-46l-introduction-2-of-2__temperature-versus-resistance) .
  4. A slight to moderate resistance in the ECT sensor signal circuit or low reference circuit will affect this diagnostic. This condition results in a greater voltage on the ECT sensor signal circuit, which is interpreted by the ECM as a colder ECT.

HO2S Sensor 1 Voltage

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The control module supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started, the control module operates in Open Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.

Scan Tool Reference

Control Module References for scan tool information

  1. If any HO2S heater DTCs are set, perform those diagnostics first.
  2. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature.
  3. Engine running, observe the affected HO2S parameter with a scan tool. The pre-catalyst oxygen sensors value should vary from below 200 mV to above 800 mV and respond to fueling changes. The post-catalyst oxygen sensors value should change more than 200 mV when the throttle is quickly cycled 3 times from closed to wide open and back to closed after running the engine at 1,500 RPM for 30 seconds.
  4. The affected HO2S may be damaged due to contamination. Prior to replacing the affected HO2S, inspect for the following sources of contamination: NOTE: Refer to «Silicon Contamination of Heated Oxygen Sensors Notice»(/cadillac/dts/i-2005-2011/remont/oem-general-information/#warnings-and-cautions__silicon-contamination-of-heated-oxygen-sensors) .

  5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the scan tool and wait 60 seconds to ensure all modules are powered down.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate HO2S.
  3. Ignition OFF, measure for less than 5 ohms resistance between the appropriate HO2S low signal circuit terminal A and ground. If more than the specified range, test the appropriate HO2S low signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter is approximately 450 mV. If more than the specified value, test the appropriate HO2S high signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. If less than the specified value, test the appropriate HO2S high signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire at the HO2S high signal circuit terminal B. Toggle the jumper wire between the HO2S low signal circuit terminal A and battery voltage. Verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter toggles between 0 mV and approximately 1,000 mV. If the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter does not toggle correctly, test the HO2S high signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate HO2S.

HO2S Sensor 1 Voltage

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The control module supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started, the control module operates in Open Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.

HO2S Sensor 1 Voltage

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The control module supplies the HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started, the control module operates in Open Loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and Closed Loop is achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream. Low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.

  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate HO2S.
  3. Ignition OFF, measure for less than 5 ohms resistance between the appropriate HO2S low signal circuit terminal A and ground. If more than the specified range, test the appropriate HO2S low signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter is approximately 450 mV. If more than the specified value, test the appropriate HO2S high signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. If less than the specified value, test the appropriate HO2S high signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire at the HO2S high signal circuit terminal B. Toggle the jumper wire between the HO2S low signal circuit terminal A and battery voltage. Verify the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter toggles between 0 mV and approximately 1,000 mV. If the appropriate scan tool HO2S parameter does not toggle correctly, test the HO2S high signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate HO2S.

The engine control module (ECM) controls the air/fuel metering system in order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emission control. Fuel delivery is controlled differently during Open Loop and Closed Loop (CL). During Open Loop, the ECM determines fuel delivery based on sensor signals without heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) input. During CL, the ECM adds HO2S inputs and level of purge to calculate the short and long term fuel trim (FT) adjustments. If the HO2S indicates a lean condition, the fuel trim values will be above 0 percent. If the HO2S indicates a rich condition, the FT values will be below 0 percent. The short term FT values change rapidly in response to the HO2S voltage signals. The long term FT makes coarse adjustments in order to maintain an optimum air/fuel ratio. A block of memory cells contain information arranged in combinations of engine RPM and engine load for a full range of vehicle operating conditions. The long term FT diagnostic is based on an average of cells currently being used. The ECM selects the cells based on the engine speed and load. The FT diagnostic will conduct a test to determine if a rich failure actually exists or if excessive vapor from the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister is causing a rich condition.

If the ECM detects an excessively lean condition, DTC P0171 or P0174 sets. If the ECM detects an excessively rich condition, DTC P0172 or P0175 sets.

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when one of the following occur

  1. The control module detects the same fuel trim failure during 2 consecutive trips.
  2. The control module detects any fuel trim failure during any subsequent trip if the conditions at the time of failure meet the following criteria: The engine load is within 20 percent of the previous test that failed. The engine speed is within 375 RPM of the previous test that failed. The engine coolant temperature is in the same range of the previous test that failed.

The engine control module (ECM) uses information from the ignition control module (ICM) and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM is able to detect individual misfire events. A misfire rate that is high enough can cause the 3-way catalytic converter (TWC) to overheat under certain driving conditions. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash ON and OFF when the conditions for TWC overheating are present. If the ECM detects a misfire rate sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed mandated standards, DTC P0300 sets. DTCs P0301-P0308 correspond to cylinders 1-8. If the ECM is able to determine that a specific cylinder is misfiring, the DTC for that cylinder will set.

  3. The ignition voltage is between 9-18 volts.
  4. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between -7 and +129°C (+19 and +264°F).
  5. If the ECT is less than -7°C (+19°F) at engine start-up, the diagnostic will be disabled until the ECT is more than 21°C (69°F).
  6. The fuel level is more than 10 percent.
  7. The ABS and the traction control system (TCS) are not active, or detecting rough road.
  8. The ECM is not in fuel shut-off or decel fuel cut-off mode.
  9. The power management is not active.
  10. Excessive drive wheel slip is not detected.
  11. DTCs P0300, and P0301-P0308 run continuously when the above conditions are met.
  12. DTC P0315 is set and the engine speed is less than 1,000 RPM or DTC P0315 is not set and the engine speed is between 650-6,000 RPM.

The ECM is detecting a crankshaft rotation speed variation indicating a misfire sufficient to cause emission or catalytic converter damaging levels to exceed mandated standards.

  1. DTCs P0300-P0308 are Type B DTCs.
  2. When the MIL is flashing the injector may be disabled for the misfiring cylinder to protect the catalytic converter.
  3. Depending on the conditions that set the code, the engine may go into open loop.
  1. DTCs P0300-P0308 are Type B DTCs.
  2. The DTC must pass the same conditions that were present when the DTC failed.
  1. A misfire may only occur when the engine is under a load or when the engine is cold.
  2. The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn may need to be performed.
  3. A misfire DTC could be caused by an excessive vibration from sources other than the engine. Inspect for the following possible sources: A tire or wheel that is out of round or out of balance Variable thickness brake rotors An unbalanced drive shaft Certain rough road conditions A damaged accessory drive component or belt

The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn feature is used to calculate reference period errors caused by slight tolerance variations in the crankshaft, and the CKP sensor. The calculated error allows the engine control module (ECM) to accurately compensate for reference period variations. This enhances the ability of the ECM to detect misfire events over a wider range of engine speed and load.

The CKP system variation compensating values are stored in ECM memory after a learn procedure has been performed and the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position for at least 30 seconds. If the actual CKP variation is not within the CKP system variation compensating values stored in the ECM, DTC P0300 may set.

If the CKP system variation values are not stored in the ECM memory or a proper ECM power down does not occur after completing the CKP Learn Procedure, DTC P0315 sets.

The diagnostic runs continuously.

The ECM detects that the CKP system variation values are not stored in memory.

DTC P0315 is a Type A DTC.

DTC P0315 is a Type A DTC.

Low Reference CircuitP0335P0335

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5-volt reference circuit, low reference circuit and an output signal circuit. The CKP sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes of the teeth and slots of a 58-tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel is spaced at 60-tooth spacing, with 2 missing teeth for the reference gap. The CKP sensor produces an ON/OFF DC voltage of varying frequency, with 58 output pulses per crankshaft revolution. The frequency of the CKP sensor output depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor sends a digital signal, which represents an image of the crankshaft reluctor wheel, to the ECM as each tooth on the wheel rotates past the CKP sensor. The ECM uses each CKP signal pulse to determine crankshaft speed and decodes the crankshaft reluctor wheel reference gap to identify crankshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine. The ECM also uses CKP sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control camshaft phasing, and to detect cylinder misfire.

  1. DTC P0340, P0341, P0641 or P0651 is not set.
  2. The engine is cranking or running.
  3. The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

  1. The ECM detects that the starter is commanded on and the engine has been cranking for more than 4 seconds without a CKP sensor pulse. OR
  2. The ECM detects that the engine is running, but does not receive a CKP sensor pulse for 2 of 10 engine revolutions. OR
  3. The ECM detects that the engine is running, but does not sync.
  1. The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
  2. The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

DTC P0335 is a Type B DTC.

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5-volt reference circuit, low reference circuit and an output signal circuit. The CKP sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes of the teeth and slots of a 58-tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel is spaced at 60-tooth spacing, with 2 missing teeth for the reference gap. The CKP sensor produces an ON/OFF DC voltage of varying frequency, with 58 output pulses per crankshaft revolution. The frequency of the CKP sensor output depends on the velocity of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor sends a digital signal, which represents an image of the crankshaft reluctor wheel, to the ECM as each tooth on the wheel rotates past the CKP sensor. The ECM uses each CKP signal pulse to determine crankshaft speed and decodes the crankshaft reluctor wheel reference gap to identify crankshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine. The ECM also uses CKP sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control camshaft phasing, and to detect cylinder misfire.

  1. DTC P0340, P0341, P0641 or P0651 is not set.
  2. The engine is cranking or running.
  3. The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
