Code P044, Rear Oxygen Sensor Lean Signal: Action

1995 Chevrolet Cavalier LS, 4D Sedan, 2.2 4SECTION Action
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

PCM turns on MIL. PCM turns on canister purge solenoid if Code P042 is also set. Transaxle shift adapts maintained at current levels.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. If Code P013 is present, diagnose this code first since an oxygen sensor not ready can cause other emission related problems.
  2. If oxygen sensor is operating correctly, voltage should fluctuate at greater than 0.3 volt. A lean sensor condition will cause voltage to remain at less than 0.3 volt.
  3. If voltage measured is greater than 0.15 volt, PCM and circuit No. 1670 are okay.
