 SENSOR HEATER CIRCUIT 

(BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

Condition for setting the DTC and action taken when the DTC sets

Circuit Description

Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for “Closed Loop” fuel control
operation and to allow accurate catalyst monitoring. The
oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the amount of
time required for fuel control sensors Bank 1 HO2S 1 1
to become active. Oxygen sensor heaters are required
by catalyst monitor sensors Bank 1 HO2S 2 to maintain
a sufficiently high temperature which allows accurate
exhaust oxygen content readings further from the

engine.
The engine control module (ECM) will run the heater
test only after a cold start (determined by engine
coolant and intake air temperature at the time of start-
up) and only once during an ignition cycle. When the
engine is started the ECM will monitor the HO2S
voltage. When the HO2S voltage indicates a sufficiently
active sensor, the ECM looks at how much time has
elapsed since start-up. If the ECM determines that too
much time was required for the Bank 1 HO2S 1 to

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

• Poor connection at ECM - Inspect harness

connectors for backed-out terminals, improper
mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.

• Damaged harness - Inspect the wiring harness for

damage; shorts to ground, shorts to battery positive
and open circuits.
