HO2S(B1/S2) is in the rear side of Catalytic Converter to check the proper operation of catalyst. Oxygen density after the catalytic converter has to be within specific range (around 0.5V when there is no acceclation and deceleration.)
If the oxygen density changes in accordance with HO2S(B1/S1), it means the poor performance of catalytic converter.
In case the sensor output is 0.4~0.52 V during 600sec or the internal resistance is over 40 ㏀ under enable conditions, ECM sets DTC P0136. ( This DTC might be caused by the malfunction of Heater circuit, so, check the heater circuit first. )
