Theory of Operation
This diagnostic provides a continuous check of the O2 heater circuit during operation. The heater circuit is momen-
tarily disabled to allow a resistance measurement to be taken to infer heater temperature. The current delivery to
the heater is duty cycled to maintain a specific target temperature. The error from the target temperature is contin-
uously monitored to assess heater performance.
When Monitored:
With battery voltage greater than 10.5 volts, at a cold start, ECT less than147°F, battery temperature sensor
equal to or less than 27°F, and engine at idle for at least 12 seconds.
Set Condition:
O2 sensor voltage greater than 3 volts for 60 to 240 seconds.
