Description and Operation

Description

The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S), consisting of zirconia and alumina, is installed both before and after the catalytic converter to detect the air-fuel ratio and send it to the ECM.

The sensor must be heated to operate properly. To heat it, the sensor has a heater that is controlled by the ECM using a duty cycle signal. When the exhaust gas temperature is below a specified value, the heater warms up the sensor tip.

Repair Procedures

Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition off.

  2. Disconnect the HO2S connector.

  3. Measure the resistance between terminals 4 and 5 [B1/S1] of the HO2S.

    Specification: 2.5 - 4.0 Ω [20 °C]

  4. Measure the resistance between terminals 3 and 4 [B1/S2] of the HO2S.

    Specification: 3.3 - 4.1 Ω [21 °C]

  5. Make sure the resistance is within specification.

Removal

[Bank 1/Sensor 1]

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

  2. Disconnect the connector (A) and remove the sensor (B).

[Bank 1/Sensor 2]

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

  2. Disconnect the connector (A).

  3. Raise the vehicle.

  4. Remove the catalytic converter bracket (A).

  5. Remove the sensor (B).

Installation

  1. Install in the reverse order of removal.
