  1. 2

    The HO2S 1 voltage may default to the bias voltage. The DTC should be cleared and the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data recorded before proceeding. A normally functioning HO2S 1 voltage signal will fluctuate above and below the bias voltage amount.
  2. 4

    A voltage reading other than the specified amount in this step indicates an open circuit condition in the high signal circuit or the PCM.
