COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CHECK

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

OPERATION

 

 

Connections on oxygen sensor and Powertrain Control Module

 

Check for loose electrical connections at the sensor connector and at the Powertrain Control Module.

 

Go to Step 2

 

Presence of loose electrical connections.

 

Restore the correct connections.

COMPONENT CONCERNED

 

WIRING CONTINUITY CHECK BETWEEN DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

 

OK (NO FAULTS DETECTED)

 

FAULT DETECTED

 

OPERATION

 

 

Wiring between downstream oxygen sensor and Powertrain Control Module

 

Check for continuity breaks on the wiring between oxygen sensor and pin 47 of the Powertrain Control Module due to oxidised or corroded terminals

 

Go to Step 3

 

Breaks in the wiring continuity.

 

Restore the correct continuity for the wiring.
