Circuit Description

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) runs heater test only after a cold start and only once during an ignition cycle. When engine is started, PCM monitors HO2S 2 voltage. When HO2S 2 voltage indicates a sufficiently active sensor, PCM looks at how much time has elapsed since start-up. If PCM determines that too much time was required for HO2S 2 to become active, DTC will set.
