Front Ho2S Heaters

The HO2S heaters are monitored for proper voltage and current. A HO2S heater voltage fault is determined by turning the heater on and off and looking for corresponding voltage change in the heater output driver circuit in the PCM.

A separate current-monitoring circuit monitors heater current once per driving cycle. If the measured heater current falls below or above a calibratable threshold, the heater is assumed to be degraded or malfunctioning.

HO2S HEATER MONITOR OPERATION:

DTCs Sensor 1 P0135 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit, Bank 1
P0155 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit, Bank 2
P0053 - HO2S Sensor Heater Resistance, Bank 1
P0059 - HO2S Sensor Heater Resistance, Bank 2
Monitor execution once per driving cycle for heater current, continuous for voltage monitoring
Monitor Sequence Heater current monitor: Stream 1 HO2S/UEGO response test completed (2010 MY and earlier), Stream 2 and 3 HO2S functional tests completed (2010 MY and earlier), HO2S/UEGO heater voltage check completed
Sensors OK Heater current monitor: no HO2S/UEGO heater voltage DTCs
Monitoring Duration < 10 seconds for heater voltage check, < 5 seconds for heater current check
