Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Check for contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor: contaminated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant.

    1. Start the engine and test drive the vehicle.
    2. With a scan tool, read the active DTCs.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS 
    1. Perform the CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS test procedure. Refer to CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS .

      Were any exhaust leaks found?

      Yes 

      • Repair or replace the leaking exhaust parts as necessary.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE (K41) O2 SENSOR 1/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between ground and the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit in the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector.

      Is the voltage between 4.1 and 5.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Check the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit for a short to ground, open, or short to voltage. If no problems are found, replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. CHECK THE (K902) O2 SENSOR 1/1 RETURN CIRCUIT 
    1. Measure the voltage between ground and the (K902) O2 Sensor 1/1 Return circuit in the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector.

      Is the voltage at 2.5 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Check the (K902) O2 Sensor 1/1 Return circuit for a short to ground, open, or short to voltage. If no problems are found, replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. O2 SENSOR 1/1 
    NOTE:

    Check for signs of contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor, such as contaminated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant.

    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the 1/1 Oxygen Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
      • Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
      • Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
      • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the 1/1 O2 Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
      • Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
