Diagnostic Test

ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Record DTC and Freeze Frame information.
3. Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.
  WARNING:
  When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
4. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
  Is the DTC Active at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2.
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
(K141) O2 1/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the 1/2 O2 Sensor harness connector.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. With the scan tool, monitor the 1/2 O2 Sensor voltage.
  Is the O2 Sensor voltage between 4.1 and 5.0 Volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3.
  No
  - Go To 5.
O2 SENSOR
