Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(s) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Check the following conditions:
Check for damaged harness and terminals: contact resistance, oxidation, bent or broken terminals.
Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection
Use a suitable male pin to ensure that contact in sockets is good. The pin should remain in position when pulled gently.
Has a problem been found?
YES
Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
NO
Go to "Control Circuit Inspection" procedure
Ignition "OFF" & Engine "OFF"
Disconnect HO2S and ECM connector
Measure resistance between terminals 4 of the HO2S heater harness connector(C48) and ECM(7/C23-2)
Specification : Approx. 0Ω
Is resistance within specification?
YES
Go to next step.
NO
Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF"
Measure voltage between terminal 4 of the HO2S heater harness connector(C48) and chassis ground
Specification : Approx 0V
Is resistance within specification?
YES
Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
NO
Repair open or short to ground in control circuit and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
