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.

    NOTE:

    After the repairs have been made, verify proper O2 Sensor operation. If all the O2 Sensor voltage readings have not returned to normal, follow the diagnostic procedure for the remaining O2 Sensors.

    1. Start the engine.
    2. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    3. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.

      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 FOR PROPER VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage on 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 

  4. CHECK THE (K902) O2 SENSOR 1/1 RETURN CIRCUIT FOR PROPER VOLTAGE 
    1. Measure the voltage on 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 

  5. CHECK THE O2 SENSOR 1/1 FOR PROPER OPERATION 
    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
