LSU 4.2 Wide-band Planar Heated Oxygen Sensors
The LSU 4.2 wide-band planar heated oxygen sensors have
six wires:
• The internal heater element supply, which has 12 V
continually applied whenever the ignition is on.
• Heater element ground – The ECM applies pulse
width modulated (PW M) ground to the HO2S heater
control circuit to control the rate at which the sensor
heats up. This reduces the risk of the sensor being
damaged from heating up too quickly under certain
conditions such as extreme cold temperatures. Once
the sensor has reached the desired operating
temperature, the ECM will monitor and continue to
maintain the sensor temperature.
• Output voltage.
• Sensor ground.
• Trim current.
• Pumping current.

Construction
Projecting into the MAF sensor body is the compact design
sensor assembly (1), which consists of:
• the sensor element (2),
• partial airflow measuring tube (3), and
• integrated evaluation electronics (4).
Figure 6C1-1 – 45
Operation
A diaphragm (1) on the sensor element (2) is heated by a
centrally mounted heater resistor (3), which is held at a
constant temperature. The temperature drops sharply each
side of the heating zone.
Temperature of the diaphragm is registered to the
evaluation electronics by two temperature-dependent
resistors located on the upstream (4) and downstream (5)
side of the resistor.
W ith no air flow through the air flow measuring tube and
over the sensor element, the temperature characteristic is
the same each side of the heating zone and the resistance
values are identical.
As air flows over the sensor element, the upstream resistor
value alters due to the cooling effect of the air flow. As the
air flows over the heating zone the air temperature is
increased.
Figure 6C1-1 – 46
The air then passes over the downstream resistor and alters the resistance value, but as the air temperature is higher,
the value is different to the upstream resistor. This change in temperature creates a temperature differential between the
two resistors.
It is this differential that is used to calculate the air mass flow, which is independent of absolute temperature. The
differential is also directional, which means the MAF not only measures the mass of the incoming air, but also its
direction.
As the evaluation electronics are measuring the resistance differential between the resistors, the air mass flow for the
entire amount of air passing through the MAF is calculated and sent to the ECM as an analogue signal of 0 – 5 V.
The ECM can also detect air flow that is inappropriate for a given operating condition based on the signal voltage, or a
signal that appears to be fixed based on the lack of normal signal fluctuations expected during engine operation.
Tech 2 can display the MAF value in grams per second (g/s). Values should change rather quickly on acceleration, but
should remain fairly stable at any given engine speed.

pulse width modulated (PW M) ground to the heater control circuit of the HO2S through a device within the ECM called a
driver, to control the HO2S rate of heating.

7.4 DTC P0040 or P0041
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC P0040 – O2 Sensor Signals Not Plausible (Bank 1, Sensor 1 & Bank 2, Sensor 1)
• DTC P0041 – O2 Sensor Signals Not Plausible (Bank 1, Sensor 2 & Bank 2, Sensor 2)
Circuit Description
The engine control relay applies positive voltage to the heater ignition voltage circuits of the HO2S. The ECM applies a
pulse width modulated (PW M) ground to the heater control circuit of the HO2S through a device within the ECM called a
driver, to control the HO2S rate of heating.
The ECM applies a voltage of approximately 450 mV between the reference signal circuit and low reference circuit of the
HO2S while the sensor temperature is less than the operating range.
Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature, the sensor varies this reference signal voltage, which constantly
fluctuates between the high voltage output and the low voltage output.
• The low voltage output is 0 – 450 mV, which occurs if the air fuel mixture is lean.
• The high voltage output is 450 – 1,000 mV, which occurs if the air fuel mixture is rich.
The ECM monitors, stores and evaluates the HO2S voltage fluctuation information to determine the level of oxygen
concentration in the exhaust.
An HO2S signal not plausible or wire connector swapped DTC sets if the ECM detects the HO2S signal voltages are
heading in the opposite direction of what was commanded.
Additional Information
• Refer to 6C1-1 Engine Management – V6 – General Information for details of the HO2S system operation.
• For an intermittent fault condition, refer to 5.2 Intermittent Fault Conditions in this Section.

7.5 DTC P0053 or P0059
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC P0053 – O2 Sensor Heater Resistance Range / Performance (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
• DTC P0059 – O2 Sensor Heater Resistance Range / Performance (Bank 2, Sensor 1)
Circuit Description
The engine control relay applies positive voltage to the heater ignition voltage circuits of the HO2S. The ECM applies a
pulse width modulated (PW M) ground to the heater control circuit of the HO2S through a device within the ECM called a
driver, to control the HO2S rate of heating.
The ECM maintains the voltage between the reference signal circuit and low reference circuit of the HO2S 1 to about
450 mV by increasing or decreasing the oxygen content in the HO2S diffusion gap. To achieve this, the ECM controls
the current applied to the oxygen pumping cell in the HO2S.
• If the air / fuel mixture in the exhaust is balanced (lambda = 1), the oxygen pumping cell current is zero.
• If the exhaust gas in the HO2S 1 diffusion gap is lean, the ECM applies a positive current to the oxygen pumping
cell to discharge oxygen from the diffusion gap.
• If the exhaust gas in the HO2S 1 diffusion gap is rich, the ECM applies a negative current to the oxygen pumping
cell to draw oxygen into the diffusion gap.
The pumping current required to maintain the HO2S 1 signal circuit voltage to about 450 mV is proportional to the level
of oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. The ECM monitors and evaluates the oxygen pumping current to determine
the level of oxygen concentration in the exhaust.
An HO2S internal heater resistance performance DTC sets if the ECM detects an internal fault condition in the ECM
HO2S heater circuit.
Conditions for Running the DTC

• DTCs P0030, P0031, P0032, P0101, P0121, P012, P0123, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0336,
P0338, P2237, P2243 and P2626 ran and passed.
• The calculated exhaust temperature is greater than 400ºC.
• The engine does not misfire.
• The ignition voltage is 10.0 – 16.0 V.
• The HO2S is commanded on.
• The engine is running at speed greater than 25 rpm
Conditions for Setting the DTC
There is an internal fault condition in the ECM HO2S heater circuit.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The HO2S internal heater resistance performance DTCs are Type B DTCs. Refer to 1.4 Diagnostic Trouble Codes in
this Section, for action taken when Type B DTC sets and conditions for clearing Type B DTCs.
