Circuit/System Testing

2008 Chevrolet Aveo LT, AutomaticSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HO2S 2.
  2. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal and ground.
    • HO2S 2 (Euro IV) low reference circuit terminal 3
    • HO2S 2 (Non Euro IV) low reference circuit terminal 1
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  3. Engine running, verify the scan tool HO2S 2 parameter is between 350-500 mV.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Verify none of the following conditions exist:
    • If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the HO2S.
