2. Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 minutes, test for less than 5 ohm between the low reference circuit terminal A
and ground.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, verify the appropriate scan tool B52 HO2S parameter is approximately 450 mV.
瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
4. Ignition ON, install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the scan tool B52 HO2S parameter is
less than 60 mV.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
5. Verify none of the following conditions exist:
* Rich fuel injectors-Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (CH47976) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel
Injector/Testing and Inspection)Fuel Injector Diagnosis (J39021 or Scan Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection)
* Water intrusion in the B52 HO2S harness connector
* High fuel system pressure-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (w/o FPCM) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)Fuel System Diagnosis (FPCM) (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)
* Fuel that is contaminated-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool) (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool))Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Special Tool) (
See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel/Testing and Inspection/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
(Special Tool))
* Fuel saturation of the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister
瀚慖f you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate B52 HO2S.
