O2S 1 Signal Circuit Short to Heater Circuit

Fault symptom

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

On-board diagnosis

Type of diagnosis:

Continuous

Enable criteria:

Battery voltage should be between 10.7 and 18 Volts.
Engine speed exceeds 1800 rpm.
Sensor in normal operating range (715°C and up).
PWM signal of preheating circuit between 20 and 80%.
NONE of the following DTCs must be detected:
P0130

Fault criteria:

Voltage signal across Nernst cell changes more than 100 mV when preheating works on/off. One or more control module pins (3, 19, 35 or 52) is short circuited to the preheating circuit.

Checking the wiring harness

Move the wiring harness at several spots and in several directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short-circuits. Check switches, connectors and crimp connections for oxidation, retracted pins and pin clamping force.
