- Perform On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check. Read and record FREEZE FRAME and/or FAIL RECORDS data for each DTC set. Go to next step.NOTE: If engine has been operating, allow engine to cool for about 30 minutes before proceeding with tests.
- Turn ignition on, engine off. Using scan tool, read HO2S 1 voltage. If voltage is greater than 0.65 volt or less than 0.25 volt, see DIAGNOSTIC AIDSΒ . If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
- Inspect HO2S 1 ignition feed fuse. If fuse is open, go to step 15). If fuse is okay, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect HO2S 1 harness connector. Connect a test light between chassis ground andHO2S 1 ignition feed circuit. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 7).
- Connect test light between HO2S 1 harness connector ignition feed and heater ground circuits. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 8).
- Allow HO2S 1 to cool for at least 10 minutes. Using DVOM, check resistance between ignition feed and heater ground circuits at HO2S 1. If resistance is 3-6 ohms, go to step 9). If resistance is not as specified, go to step 10).
- Repair open HO2S 1 ignition feed circuit and go to step 16).
- Repair open HO2S 1 heater ground circuit and go to step 16).
- Check for faulty connection at HO2S 1 harness connector. If faulty connection is found, repair as necessary and go to step 16). If connection is okay, go to next step.
- Check for faulty connection at HO2S 1 ground and signal circuit harness connector. If faulty connection is found, repair as necessary and go to step 16). If connection is okay, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM connectors. Check resistance of HO2S 1 signal and ground circuits. If resistance on either circuit is greater than 5 ohms, repair open or faulty connection as necessary and go to step 16). If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step.
- Check for faulty ground circuit connection at PCM. If faulty connection is found, repair as necessary and go to step 16). If connection is okay, go to next step.
- Check for faulty HO2S 1 signal circuit connection at PCM. If faulty connection is found, repair as necessary and go to step 16). If connection is okay, go to next step.
- Replace HO2S 1 and go to step 16).
- Locate and repair short to ground in HO2S 1 ignition feed circuit, replace fuse and go to next step.
- Allow engine to cool completely. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Turn ignition on, engine off. Read HO2S 1 voltage. If voltage is greater than 0.6 volt or less than 0.3 volt, repair is complete. If voltage is not as specified, return to step 2).

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
