Sub-Heated Oxygen Sensor (Sub-HO2S)
- A malfunction in the sub-HO2S circuit will set DTC 27. For testing procedures, see TESTS W/CODES - 1.8L article. Use following procedure to test sub-HO2S.
- Sub-HO2S is located after Three Way Convertor. A heater is used to promote activation of O2S. A voltage is produced in response to amount of Oxygen in exhaust gases. A lean mixture (high oxygen content) will produce a low voltage of approximately 0.1 volt. A rich mixture (low oxygen content) will produce a high voltage of approximately 0.9 volt.
