Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).Diagnostic Test1.O2 SENSOR BELOW 2.52 VOLTSStart the engine.Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.With a scan tool, read the 1/1 O2 Sensor voltage.Is the voltage below 2.52 volts?YesGo To 2NoRefer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)2.(K41) O2 SENSOR 1/1 SIGNAL CIRCUITTurn the ignition off.Disconnect the 1/1 O2 Sensor harness connector.Ignition on, engine not running.With a scan tool, monitor the O2 Sensor voltage.Is the 1/1 O2 Sensor voltage above 4.8 volts?YesGo To 3NoGo To 53.O2 SENSORMeasure the voltage on the (K902) O2 Return Upstream circuit in the O2 Sensor harness connector.Is the voltage at 2.5 volts?YesReplace the O2 Sensor.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 44.(K902) O2 RETURN UPSTREAM CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUNDTurn the ignition off.Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.Measure the resistance between ground and the (K902) O2 Return Upstream circuit in the O2 Sensor harness connector.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short to ground in the (K902) O2 Return Upstream circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 85.(K41) O2 SENSOR 1/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUNDTurn the ignition off.Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.Measure the resistance between ground and the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit in the O2 Sensor harness connector.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short to ground in the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 66.(K41) O2 SENSOR 1/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K902) O2 RETURN UPSTREAM CIRCUIT Measure the resistance between the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit and the (K902) O2 Return Upstream circuit in the O2 Sensor harness connector.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short between the (K902) O2 Return Upstream circuit and the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 77.(K41) O2 SENSOR 1/1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (Z906) O2 1/1 HEATER GROUND CIRCUIT Measure the resistance between the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit and the (Z906) O2 1/1 Heater ground circuit in the O2 Sensor harness connector.Is the resistance below 100 ohms?YesRepair the short between the (Z906) O2 1/1 Heater ground circuit and the (K41) O2 Sensor 1/1 Signal circuit.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoGo To 88.PCM Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.Were there any problems found?YesRepair as necessary.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NoReplace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.
