Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit Description
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater reduces the time required for the oxygen sensor to reach operating temperature and maintains the
operating temperature during extended idle periods. When the ignition is turned to the ON position, ignition voltage is supplied directly to the
sensor heater. The engine control module (ECM) controls the heater operation by first modulating the control circuit to ground when the sensors are
cold. This prevents the possibility of thermal shock to the sensor, from condensation build-up on the sensor, by controlling the sensors rate of
heating. After a predetermined amount of time, the ECM commands the heaters ON continuously. Once the sensor reaches operating temperature,
the ECM may modulate the heater control circuit to ground, to maintain a desired temperature.
