The heated oxygen sensors are mounted on the front side and the rear sied of Catalytic Converter (warm-up catalytic converter), which detects the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. The front HO2S signal is used to control air/fuel ratio (closed loop fuel control) and the rear HO2S signal is used to monitor front HO2S and catalyst for proper operation. The heated oxygen snesor (HO2S) produces a voltage that varies between 0V and 1V. When the air/fuel ratio is lean, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas increases and the front HO2S outputs a low voltage (approximately 0 ~ 0.1 V).When the air/fuel ratio is rich, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas decreases and the front HO2S output a high voltage (approximately 0.8 ~ 1 V). The ECM constantly monitors the HO2S and increases or decreases the fuel injection duration by using the HO2S signal, which is called closed-loop fuel control operation.
If the sensor output is over 1.08 V under enable conditions, ECM sets P0132.
( This DTC might be caused by the malfunction of Heater circuit, so, check the heater circuit first. )

Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).
IG "ON".
Select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode, and then Press F4(DTAL) to check DTC'sinformation from the DTCs menu
Confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditionsnoted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions noted in the DTC detecting condition.
Read "DTC Status" parameter.
Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?
History fault : DTC occurred but has been cleared.
Present fault : DTC is occurring at present time.
▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor’s and/or ECM’s connector or wasrepaired and ECM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness,poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.Repair or replace as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Terminal & Connector Inspection" procedure
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to " Signal Circuit Inspection " procedure.
IG "OFF".
Disconnect HO2S(B1/S1) connector.
IG "ON" & ENG "OFF".
Measure voltage between terminal 1 of HO2S(B1/S1) and chassis ground.
Specification : Approx. 0.45V
Is the measured voltage within specification?
▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
▶ Repair or replace as necessary and then, go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"procedure.
Visual Inspection.
IG "OFF"
Disconnect HO2S(B1/S1) connector.
Check that HO2S(B1S1) is contaminated or damaged by foreign materials.
Has a problem been found?
▶ Go to "Check HO2S(B1/S1) performance" as follows.
▶ Substitute with a known - good HO2S(B1/S1) and check for proper operation.
▶ If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S(B1/S1) and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Check HO2S(B1/S1) performance.
IG "OFF".
Connect probe to terminal 1 of HO2S(B1/S1) connector and select oscilloscope function with scantool.
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Measure signal waveform of HO2S(B1/S1) with scantool.
Is the measured signal waveform within specification?
▶ Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage. So, check poor connections and the related circuit between ECM and component thoroughly. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Substitute with a known - good HO2S(B1/S1) and check for proper operation.
▶ If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S(B1/S1) and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
Press F4(DTAL) and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete".
If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions.
Read "DTC Status" parameter.
Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?
▶ System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC.
▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
