Circuit/System Testing

2008 Chevrolet Aveo LT, AutomaticSECTION Circuit/System Testing
  1. Verify that none of the following conditions exist:
    • If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the HO2S 2.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool HO2S 2 voltage parameter is between 350-550 mV.
    • If less than the specified range, test the HO2S 2 high signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Connect the harness connector at the HO2S 2.
  5. Engine idling, raise the engine speed above 1,200 RPM for 30 seconds. Verify the scan tool HO2S 2 voltage parameter is greater than 60 mV.
    • If less than the specified range, replace the HO2S 2.
  6. Engine idling, move the HO2S 1 and HO2S 2 harnesses between the HO2S harness connector and the ECM. Observe the scan tool HO2S 1 and 2 voltage parameter. Verify neither parameter changes abruptly.
    • If the parameter changes abruptly, repair the harness/connections as necessary.
  7. If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the HO2S 1.
