Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus RX 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Heated oxygen sensor monitors exhaust gas oxygen content and delivers an input signal to ECM. ECM uses input signal to determine fuel injection system operation. Heated oxygen sensors include a heater. DTC is set when bank No. 1, sensor No. 2 voltage remains at .4 volt or more, or .6 volt or less during vehicle operation (31 MPH or more), once engine is at normal operating temperature. Possible causes are:
- Open or shorted heated oxygen sensor circuit.
- Faulty heated oxygen sensor No. 2.
