CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) continuously monitors the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) activity for 100 seconds. During the monitor period, the PCM counts the number of times that the HO2S responds from rich to lean and from lean to rich and adds the amount of time it took to complete all transitions. With this information, the PCM can determine the average time for all transitions. If the average response time is too slow, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets.

The PCM determines the lean to rich transition when the HO2S voltage changes from less than 300 mV to more than 600 mV. The PCM determines the rich to lean transition when the HO2S voltage changes from more than 600 mV to less than 300 mV. An HO2S that responds too slowly is most likely defective. Replace the HO2S.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ No active Mass Air Flow (MAF) DTCs
^ No active Intake Air Temperature (IAT) DTCs
^ No active Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTCs
^ No active Throttle Position (TP) DTCs
^ No active injector DTCs
^ No active crank sensor DTCs
^ No active ignition control DTCs
^ The ECT is more than 65°C (149°F).
^ The ignition voltage is more than 9.0 volts.
^ The secondary Air Injection (AIR), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), and the catalyst diagnostics are not active.
^ The fuel system is operating in Closed Loop.
^ The engine speed is between 1,200 RPM and 3,000 RPM.
^ The engine air flow is between 23 g/s and 50 g/s.
^ The EVAP canister purge duty cycle is more than 0 percent.
^ The engine run time is more than 120 Seconds.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
^ The lean to rich response average time is more than 250 milliseconds.
^ The rich to lean response average time is more than 250 milliseconds.
^ The above conditions are met for 100 seconds.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the PCM stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the PCM records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The PCM writes the conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The PCM turns OFF the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A last test failed, or current DTC, clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
^ A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
^ Use a scan tool in order to clear the MIL and the DTC.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS

IMPORTANT: Remove any debris from the PCM connector surfaces before servicing the PCM. Inspect the PCM connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing the PCM. Ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent water intrusion into the PCM.

^ This diagnostic only runs once per ignition cycle.
^ A malfunction in the HO2S heater circuits causes a DTC to set. Check HO2S heater circuits for intermittent opens and connections. Refer to Testing for Intermittent and Poor Connections in Diagrams.
^ An oxygen supply inside the HO2S is necessary for proper operation. The HO2S wires provide the supply of oxygen. Inspect the HO2S wires and connections for breaks or contamination. Refer to Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Wiring Repairs in Diagrams.
^ Using the Freeze Frame and Failure Records data may aid in locating an intermittent condition. If you cannot duplicate the DTC, the information included in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records data can help determine how many miles since the DTC set. The Fail Counter and Pass Counter can also help determine how many ignition cycles the diagnostic reported a pass or a fail. Operate the vehicle within the same Freeze Frame conditions such as RPM, load, vehicle speed, temperature, etc. that you observed. This will isolate when the DTC failed. For an intermittent condition, refer to Symptoms. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
2. This step determines if the fault is present. This test may take 5 minutes for the diagnostic to run.
3. When DTCs P0133 and P0153 are set at the same time, it is a good indication that a fuel contamination problem is present.
4. An exhaust leak 6-12 inches away from the HO2S can cause a DTC to set.
5. This step tests whether a good ground circuit is available.
6. This step tests the integrity of the signal circuit to the PCM.
7. This step tests the integrity of the signal circuit to the PCM.
8. Certain RTV silicone gasket materials give off vapors that can contaminate the HO2S. There is also a possibility of silicone-contamination caused by silicone in the fuel. If the sensors appear to be contaminated by silicone and all the silicone sealant is a non silicone base, advise the customer to try a different fuel company. A missing fuel filler restrictor indicates the customer may have used leaded fuel.
