ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

PCM is equipped with a self-diagnostic system which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunction occurs, PCM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and in most cases, illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) located on instrument cluster.

There are 2 paths for accessing on-board diagnostics. It is necessary to access information through both paths, as each path presents some different information.

  1. Generic OBD-II This provides all generic codes and some OEM codes, serial data PIDs required for generic OBD-II and some OEM PIDs, monitor status, pending codes and freeze frame.
  2. OEM All DTCs, all PIDs, failure records, enhanced scan tool information and all other OEM scanner functions.

DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - ENGINE CONTROLS

Diagnosis of computerized engine control system should be performed in the following order

  1. Ensure all engine systems not related to computer system are operating properly. DO NOT proceed with testing unless all other problems have been repaired. Diagnostic system check must be performed before using specific DTC testing procedure. See «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(ref-155075-S24848794192003060600000) .
  2. If no DTCs are present and a driveability problem exists, see «SYMPTOMS»(ref-152915-S31711482542003030500000) in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 3.4L AZTEK & RENDEZVOUS article. Doing so will help identify proper system or component to check in «SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - 3.4L AZTEK & RENDEZVOUS»(ref-153136) article.
  3. After necessary repairs are made, clear DTCs, verify vehicle will enter "closed loop" operation and ensure DTC does not reset.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

DTCs are retrieved using a Tech 2 scan tool, or other OBD-II compatible scan tool connected to OBD-II 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS. (Scheme 25) DLC is located below left side of dash.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

There are 3 methods to clear DTCs.

Scan Tool

Scan tool is preferable way to clear DTC information. Freeze frame and failure record data will also be cleared. PCM adaptive learning and system monitors will only be cleared for those systems which had a stored DTC.

SCAN TOOL USAGE

Scan tool is a specialized tester which, when connected to DLC, can be used to diagnose on-board computer control systems by providing instant access to circuit voltage information without need to crawl under dash or hood to backprobe sensors and connectors.

Scan tool reduces diagnostic time dramatically by furnishing input data (voltage signals) which can be compared to specification parameters. They may also furnish information on output device (solenoids and motors) status. However, status parameters only indicate output signals have been sent to devices by PCM; they do not indicate whether devices have responded properly to signal. Verify proper response at output device using a voltmeter or test light.

A problem may exist even if DTCs are not present. About 80 percent of driveability problems occur without setting DTCs. Sensors that are out of calibration will not set a DTC but will cause driveability problems.

Using a scan tool is the easiest method of checking sensor specifications and other data parameters. Scan tool is also useful in finding intermittent wiring problems by wiggling wiring harnesses and connections (key on, engine off) while observing data parameters.

Note. If erroneous voltage signals are suspected, verify tester information using a digital voltmeter and wiring schematic. If non-existent DTCs are displayed, DO NOT use scan tool for diagnosis. Contact tester manufacturer for additional information.

Scan Tool Display

Note. OBD-II vehicles have options available in the scan tool DTC mode to display enhanced information available. However, to fully utilize information and procedures requires the use of a Tech 2 scan tool. See scan tool operator's manual for additional information.

The following are Tech 2 scan tool sub-menus in the DTC INFO and SPECIFIC DTC modes

  1. DTC INFO MODE Used to search for specific type of stored DTC information. There are 7 choices in this mode. Technician may be instructed to test DTCs in a certain manner. Follow the affected DTC test procedures. To get complete description of any status, hit ENTER key before pressing the desired "F" key.
  2. DTC STATUS This selection will display any DTCs that have not run during the current ignition cycle or have reported a test failure during this ignition up to a maximum of 33 DTCs. A DTC test that runs and passes will cause affected DTC to be removed from scan tool screen.
  3. FAIL THIS IGN. This selection will display all DTCs that have failed during the present ignition cycle.
  4. HISTORY This selection will display only DTCs that are stored in the control module's history memory. It will not display type "D" DTCs. It will display all type "A" and type "B" DTCs that have the MIL illuminated and have failed within the last 40 warm-up cycles. It will also display type "C" DTCs that have failed within the 40 warm-up cycles.
  5. LAST TEST FAIL This selection will only display DTCs that have failed the last time the test ran. If type "A" or "B" DTCs are displayed, the last test may have ran during the previous ignition cycle. For type "C" DTCs, the last failure must have occurred during the current ignition cycle to be displayed as LAST TEST FAIL.
  6. MIL REQUEST This selection will only display DTCs that are requesting MIL illumination. Type "C" DTCs cannot be displayed using this option. This selection will report type "B" DTCs only after MIL illumination has been requested.
  7. NOT RUN SCC Not Run Since Code Clear option will display up to 33 DTCs that have not run since DTCs were last cleared. Since any displayed DTCs have not run, their condition (passing or failing) is unknown.
  8. TEST FAIL SCC Test Fail Since Code Clear selection will display all active and history DTCs that have reported a test failure since the last time DTCs were cleared. DTCs that last failed over 40 warm-up cycles before this option is selected will not be displayed.
  9. FAILED SINCE CLEAR This message indicates the DTC has failed at least once within the last 40 warm-up cycles since the last time DTCs were cleared.
  10. NOT RUN SINCE CL. Not Run Since Cleared message indicates that the selected diagnostic test has not run since the last time DTCs were cleared. Therefore, the diagnostic test status (passed or failed) is unknown. After DTCs are cleared, this message will continue to be displayed until the diagnostic test runs.
  11. NOT RUN THIS IGN. Not Run This Ignition message indicates the selected diagnostic test has not run this ignition cycle.
  12. TEST RAN AND PASSED This message indicates the selected diagnostic test has: Passed the last test. Ran and passed during this ignition cycle. Ran and passed since DTCs were last cleared. Test has not failed since DTCs were last cleared. If this message is displayed, repair is complete. If FAILED THIS IGN. message is displayed, repair is incomplete and further diagnosis is required.
  1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(ref-155075-S24848794192003060600000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Repair any DTCs or driveability concerns that would prevent the I/M System Status tests from completing. Did you find and repair a DTC or driveability concern? If yes, go to step 3 . If no, go to next step.
  2. Review any service bulletins for software updates that may prevent I/M readiness. Perform any reprogramming or repairs indicated by the service bulletins. Was a reprogramming or repair service required? If yes, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE»(ref-155075-S08016051632003060600000) . If no, go to next step.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Is more than one test indicating a NO status? If yes, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE COMPLETE SYSTEM SET PROCEDURE»(ref-155075-S08016051632003060600000) . If no, go to the I/M System Set Procedure for the indicated system.

Diagnostic Aids

The I/M System Status display provides an indication of when the control module has completed the required tests. This does not necessarily mean that the test has passed, only that a decision was made. If the diagnostic fails, a DTC will indicate the failure. If a failure indication is present for a DTC associated with one of the I/M regulated systems, the failure indication may prevent other required tests from running. For example, a DTC for the control circuit of the relay controlling an AIR pump may not be listed in the INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTCS table because this is a continuous test. If this DTC is set, the Active Tests for the AIR system may not run. The I/M System Status information may be useful for a technician to determine if diagnostics have run when verifying repairs.

Conditions for Running

Cold Start

  1. Barometric (BARO) pressure is more than 65 kPa.
  2. Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is less than 86°F (30°C).
  3. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is less than 90°F (32°C).
  4. Difference between the IAT and ECT is 7°F (5°C) or less.
  5. Battery voltage is 10-18 volts.
  6. Fuel level is 1/4 and 3/4.
  1. Did you perform the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Check? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM CHECK»(ref-155075-S40077356142003060600000) .
  2. Preprogram the scan tool with the vehicle information before the ignition is turned ON. Ensure that the vehicle is within the Conditions for Running. See «CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING»(ref-155075-S31615558142003060600000) . Turn OFF all of the accessories (e.g., A/C, blower fan, etc.). Set the vehicle parking brake. Verify that the transmission is in Park (A/T) or Neutral (M/T). Start engine and allow engine to idle for 2 minutes. When complete, go to next step.
  3. In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Accelerate at part throttle to 55 MPH with this speed maintained until engine reaches operating temperature. This may be up to 8-10 minutes depending on the start-up coolant temperature. Continued operation under these conditions for an additional 6 minutes. After procedure, go to next step.
  4. In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Vehicle speed reduced to 45 MPH with this speed maintained for one additional minute. Four decelerations of 25 seconds each from 45 MPH while the following criteria is maintained: The throttle is closed. NO brake application on either manual or automatic transmission. NO clutch actuation on a manual transmission. NO manual downshift. Vehicle speed remains more than 25 MPH. After each deceleration period, the vehicle is returned to 45 MPH under part throttle acceleration and the speed is maintained for 15 seconds. When complete, go to next step.
  5. In order for the next group of tests to run, the vehicle must operate in the following conditions: Accelerate at part throttle to 45-55 MPH with this speed maintained for 2 minutes. Decelerate to zero MPH. Engine idling for 2 minutes while the following criteria is maintained: Service brake depressed. Automatic transmission in Drive. Manual transmission in Neutral with the clutch pedal depressed. When complete, go to next step.
  6. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did all of the I/M System Status indicators update to YES? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to the I/M System Set Procedure for the indicated systems.
  7. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-155075-S27919636112003060600000) . If no, system is okay.

Rough road conditions may prevent some of the tests from running. Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may prevent tests such as Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater and Evaporative (EVAP) emission System from initiating. If a step is interrupted before completion, perform the remaining portion of the set procedures. Any portion of the set procedure that requires the engine at operating temperature may be repeated. This allows most of the diagnostics to run and the remaining tests can be performed using the individual System Set Procedures. If the vehicle has recently run, start this procedure at step 3 . This will allow the tests that require the engine at operating temperature to run. Using this method allows shorter cool down periods if the tests requiring a cold start do not initiate. The scan tool can be used to monitor each of the I/M System Status indicators during the I/M Complete System Set Procedure. When all of the indicators for a test step have updated to YES, testing can move on to the next step even if the remaining portion of the test is not complete. For example, step 3 is designed to run the EVAP, secondary Air Injection (AIR), and HO2S tests. The procedure instructs the technician to operate the vehicle in the enable conditions for 6 minutes. If all 3 tests have updated to YES within 4 minutes, it is not necessary to continue with the enable conditions and testing can advance to the next step.

  4. To determine which DTCs are required to run in order to complete this test, see «INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE SYSTEM DTC TABLE»(ref-155075-S08823597822003060600000) . With scan tool, observe the Not Ran Since Code Cleared display. Determine which of the DTCs required for a YES status has not run. Enter the DTC number in the Specific DTC menu of the scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running. See «CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING»(ref-155075-S28665079722003060600000) . Repeat the procedure until the scan tool indicates the diagnostic test has run. Repeat procedure for any additional required DTCs that have not run. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did the Catalyst System Status update to YES? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(ref-155075-S38476053022003060600000) .
  5. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-155075-S27919636112003060600000) . If no, system is okay.

The control module runs a maximum of 6 tests per trip until the Catalyst System Status updates to YES. If the status does not update, the test outlined in this procedure can be repeated until the I/M System Status updates to YES. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the required tests have not run. When a failure occurs, the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display will indicate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is requested. The I/M System Status also registers the number of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The first failure of a type "B" DTC does not constitute a final determination of pass or fail, and will not update the I/M System Status to YES. A second trip is required, and all the conditions to run must be met in order for the test to run again. These conditions may include a partial to complete engine cool down. The I/M System Status will update only when an emission related DTC fails the second time, or when all of the tests pass. If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load, such as a cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch turning ON, may cause the test to abort. If a diagnostic test is difficult to run, observe the I/M System Status display while maintaining the necessary enable conditions until the system status updates to YES.

  1. Barometric (BARO) pressure is more than 65 kPa.
  2. Engine coolant is at operating temperature is 176-230°F (80-110°C).

The control module only runs the EGR Active Tests during a gradual deceleration with a closed throttle and a vehicle speed above 25 MPH. Several deceleration cycles may be necessary in order to accumulate a sufficient number of EGR flow samples. The procedure is for a clear, flat road. If the procedure is performed on a road with a slight down hill grade, the test may acquire the necessary sample counters in one or two decel trips. If the test is interrupted during the procedure, it may take more than three deceleration cycles to complete the test. If the status does not update, the test outlined in this procedure can be repeated until the I/M System Status updates to YES. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the required tests have not run. When a failure occurs, the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display will indicate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is requested. The I/M System Status also registers the number of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). The first failure of a type "B" DTC does not constitute a final determination of pass or fail, and will not update the I/M System Status to YES. A second trip is required, and all the conditions to run must be met in order for the test to run again. These conditions may include a partial to complete engine cool down. The I/M System Status will update only when an emission related DTC fails the second time, or when all of the tests pass. If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load, such as a cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch turning ON, may cause the test to abort. If a diagnostic test is difficult to run, observe the I/M System Status display while maintaining the necessary enable conditions until the system status updates to YES.

Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running DTC. See «CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING»(ref-155075-S10357353852003060600000) . Repeat the procedure until the scan tool indicates the diagnostic test has run. Repeat this procedure for any additional required DTCs that have not run. With a scan tool, observe the I/M System Status display. Did the EVAP System Status update to YES? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC AIDS»(ref-155075-S26205426732003060600000) .
  8. With a scan tool, observe the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display. Does the scan tool indicate any Emission Related DTCs set? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-155075-S27919636112003060600000) . If no, system is okay.

Extreme high or low ambient temperatures may prevent the EVAP System Tests from initiating. Performing a visual inspection prior to running the EVAP Service Bay Test may prevent having to repeat the test. A loose fuel cap may cause a Service Bay Test to abort or fail and prevent the I/M System Status from updating. A failed or aborted test will require the vehicle to cool down in order to meet the enable criteria to run another test. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the required tests have not run. When a failure occurs, the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display will indicate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is requested. The I/M System Status also registers the number of DTCs. The first failure of a type "B" DTC does not constitute a final determination of pass or fail, and will not update the I/M System Status to YES. A second trip is required, and all the conditions to run must be met in order for the test to run again. These conditions may include a partial to complete engine cool down. The I/M System Status will update only when an emission related DTC fails the second time, or when all of the tests pass. If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load, such as a cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch turning ON, may cause the test to abort. If a diagnostic test is difficult to run, observe the I/M System Status display while maintaining the necessary enable conditions until the system status updates to YES.

If the status does not update, the test outlined in this procedure can be repeated until the I/M System Status updates to YES. The I/M System Status does not indicate whether the test has passed or failed, only that a decision was made. When all of the diagnostics for a specific system have run and passed, the I/M System Status will update to YES. If a test for a specific system has failed, the I/M System Status will update to YES, indicating a determination was made, even if all of the required tests have not run. When a failure occurs, the Emission Related DTC portion of the I/M System Status display will indicate the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is requested. The I/M System Status also registers the number of DTCs. The first failure of a type "B" DTC does not constitute a final determination of pass or fail, and will not update the I/M System Status to YES. A second trip is required, and all the conditions to run must be met in order for the test to run again. These conditions may include a partial to complete engine cool down. The I/M System Status will update only when an emission related DTC fails the second time, or when all of the tests pass. If there is an impending failure, the system may require more time to run the diagnostic than was allotted in the set procedure. If the test does not run after numerous attempts and no DTC is set, review the appropriate scan tool data list and the service information for an indication of why the test does not complete. Some tests may abort due to changes in the conditions while the test is running. For example, changes in engine load, such as a cooling fan or an A/C compressor clutch turning ON, may cause the test to abort. If a diagnostic test is difficult to run, observe the I/M System Status display while maintaining the necessary enable conditions until the system status updates to YES.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

Note. Before clearing DTCs, perform powertrain diagnostic system check. See DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Record FREEZE FRAME and FAILURE RECORDS for reference during testing. Data will be erased when DTCs are cleared. If PCM is replaced, NEW PCM must be programmed using special manufacturer's equipment.

Conditions For Running DTC

Engine is running.

Conditions For Setting DTC

PCM detects that the heater control circuit current is greater than 1.25 amps for more than 20 seconds.

Action Taken When DTC Sets

  1. The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
  2. The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in the failure records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions For Clearing DTC

  1. PCM turns OFF the MIL light after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and passes.
  2. A current, DTC last test fails, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
  3. A DTC stored in history clears after 40 warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
  4. A scan tool can be used to clear the DTC.
  1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS»(ref-155075-S24848794192003060600000) under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  2. Allow the engine to idle at operating temperature. Monitor the HO2S 1 Heater Current parameter on a scan tool. Allow the current to stabilize. Is the HO2S 1 Heater Current 0.25-0.85 amp.? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 4 .
  3. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data for this DTC. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start engine. Operate vehicle within the Conditions for Running DTC or as close to the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data that you observed. Does the DTC fail this ignition cycle? If yes, go to next step. If no, see «INTERMITTENTS»(ref-152915-S42075885362003030500000) in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - 3.4L AZTEK & RENDEZVOUS article.
  4. Turn ignition off. Disconnect the HO2S 1. Start engine. Allow the engine to idle at operating temperature. Monitor the scan tool for at least 30 seconds. Does the DTC fail this ignition cycle? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 6 .
  5. Test the HO2S 1 heater low control circuit for a short to voltage. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 10 . If no, go to step 7 .
  6. Check for poor connections at the harness connector of the HO2S 1. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 10 . If no, go to step 8 .
  7. Check for poor connections at the harness connector of the PCM. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 10 . If no, go to step 9 .
  8. Replace HO2S 1. See «REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - AZTEC & RENDEZVOUS»(ref-155806) article. After repairs, go to step 10 .
  9. Replace PCM. See «REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - AZTEC & RENDEZVOUS»(ref-155806) article. Reprogram PCM. See «POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE»(ref-155075-S39693243352003060600000) under PROGRAMMING. After repairs, go to next step.
  10. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds. Start engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running DTC. See «CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING DTC»(ref-155075-S05400494462003060600000) . Does the DTC run and pass? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 2 .
  11. Observe the stored information, Capture Info with a scan tool. Does the scan tool display any DTCs that you have not diagnosed? If yes, see «DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS»(ref-155075-S27919636112003060600000) . If no, system is okay.
  1. DTCs P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0401, P0404, P0405, P0440, P0442, P0446, P1404 or P1441 not set.

  8. Inspect for the following conditions that may affect the HO2S operation: NOTE: Contamination of the oxygen sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV sealant (not oxygen sensor safe) or excessive engine coolant or oil consumption. Remove the HO2S and visually inspect the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream in order to check for contamination. If contaminated, the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream will have a White powdery coating. Silicone contamination causes a high but false HO2S signal voltage (rich exhaust indication). The control module will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, causing a severe driveability problem. Eliminate the source of contamination before replacing the oxygen sensor. HO2S for contamination. NOTE: Do not remove this pigtail from either the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or the Oxygen Sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation. Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of any type. Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged. This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degraded sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance. Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires are not bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks could block the reference air path through the lead wire. Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance. Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered since this could result in the air reference being obstructed. Chafed, burnt, cut, pinched, or otherwise damaged HO2S wiring The HO2S must have a clean air reference in order to function properly. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the HO2S wires. Obstruction of the air reference and degraded HO2S performance could result from any attempt to repair the conditions. Exhaust system leaks or restrictions.

  8. Inspect for the following conditions that may affect the HO2S operation: NOTE: Contamination of the oxygen sensor can result from the use of an inappropriate RTV sealant (not oxygen sensor safe) or excessive engine coolant or oil consumption. Remove the HO2S and visually inspect the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream in order to check for contamination. If contaminated, the portion of the sensor exposed to the exhaust stream will have a white powdery coating. Silicone contamination causes a high but false HO2S signal voltage (rich exhaust indication). The control module will then reduce the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, causing a severe driveability problem. Eliminate the source of contamination before replacing the oxygen sensor. HO2S for contamination. NOTE: Do not remove this pigtail from either the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) or the Oxygen Sensor (O2S). Removing the pigtail or the connector will affect sensor operation. Handle the oxygen sensor carefully. Do not drop the HO2S. Keep the in-line electrical connector and the louvered end free of grease, dirt, or other contaminants. Do not use cleaning solvents of any type. Do not repair the wiring, connector or terminals. Replace the oxygen sensor if the pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is damaged. This external clean air reference is obtained by way of the oxygen sensor signal and heater wires. Any attempt to repair the wires, connectors, or terminals could result in the obstruction of the air reference and degraded sensor performance. The following guidelines should be used when servicing the heated oxygen sensor: Do not apply contact cleaner or other materials to the sensor or vehicle harness connectors. These materials may get into the sensor causing poor performance. Do not damage the sensor pigtail and harness wires in such a way that the wires inside are exposed. This could provide a path for foreign materials to enter the sensor and cause performance problems. Ensure the sensor or vehicle lead wires should not be bent sharply or kinked. Sharp bends or kinks could block the reference air path through the lead wire. Do not remove or defeat the oxygen sensor ground wire (where applicable). Vehicles that utilize the ground wired sensor may rely on this ground as the only ground contact to the sensor. Removal of the ground wire will cause poor engine performance. Ensure that the peripheral seal remains intact on the vehicle harness connector in order to prevent damage due to water intrusion. The engine harness may be repaired using Packard's Crimp and Splice Seals Terminal Repair Kit. Under no circumstances should repairs be soldered since this could result in the air reference being obstructed. Chafed, burnt, cut, pinched, or otherwise damaged HO2S wiring. The HO2S must have a clean air reference in order to function properly. This clean air reference is obtained by way of the HO2S wires. Obstruction of the air reference and degraded HO2S performance could result from any attempt to repair the conditions. Exhaust system leaks or restrictions. Evaporative (EVAP) emissions canister purge. Inspect the EVAP control system. The fuel pressure. Incorrect fuel pressure can affect HO2S operation. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step 14 . If no, go to next step.
