DTC P0031 HO2S HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

DTC P0031 HO2S HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW (BANK 1 SENSOR 1)

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the open or short circuit of front oxygen (A/F) sensor heater. Diagnosis is performed using front oxygen (A/F) sensor IC, and communication is established between front oxygen (A/F) sensor IC and main IC. Front oxygen (A/F) sensor IC judges NG when the data of voltage and current is abnormal with heater turned on or off.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION


(1)

Protection tube

(2)

Gasket

(3)

Sensor housing

(4)

Ceramic heater



ENABLE CONDITION

Secondary Parameters Enable Conditions
None



GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Always perform diagnosis continuously.

DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

Front oxygen (A/F) sensor IC judges NG when the continuous time of completing the malfunction criteria below becomes more than the time needed for diagnosis (4.5 seconds). Front oxygen (A/F) sensor IC judges OK and clear NG when the malfunction criteria below are not completed.
