DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0136
.
HINT:
- When any of these DTCs is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. The ECM turns off the Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor heater in fail-safe mode. Fail-safe mode continues until the engine switch is turned off.
-
The ECM provides a pulse width modulated control circuit to adjust the current through the heater. The HO2 sensor heater circuit uses a relay on the +B side of the circuit.

DTC Code |
DTC Detection Condition |
Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
|
P0037 P0057 |
The Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor heater current is below 0.3 A (1 trip detection logic). |
|
|
P0038 P0058 |
The Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor heater current is higher than 2 A (1 trip detection logic). |
|
|
P0141 P0161 |
The Cumulative heater resistance correction value exceeds the threshold (2 trip detection logic). |
|
HINT:
- Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder.
- Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor closest to the engine assembly.
- Sensor 2 refers to the sensor farthest away from the engine assembly.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The sensing portion of the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a zirconia element which is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. If the zirconia element is at the appropriate temperature, and the difference between the oxygen concentrations surrounding the inside and outside surfaces of the sensor is large, the zirconia element generates voltage signals. In order to increase the oxygen concentration detecting capacity of the zirconia element, the ECM supplements the heat from the exhaust with heat from a heating element inside the sensor.
Heated oxygen sensor heater range check (P0037, P0038, P0057 and P0058):
The ECM monitors the current applied to the O2 sensor heater to check the heater for malfunctions. If the current is below the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is an open circuit in the heater. If the current is higher than the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a short circuit in the heater.
The ECM constantly monitors the current applied to the heater. If the ECM detects an open or short circuit, the ECM turns the MIL on and stores a DTC.
If a malfunction is detected, the ECM cuts off the current applied to the heater.
Example:
The ECM stores DTC P0038 or P0058 when the current in the HO2 sensor heater is higher than 2 A. Conversely, when the heater current is below 0.3 A, DTC P0037 or P0057 is stored.
Heated oxygen sensor heater performance (P0141 and P0161):
After the accumulated heater ON time exceeds 100 seconds, the ECM calculates the heater resistance using the battery voltage and the current applied to the heater.
If the resistance is higher than the threshold value, the ECM determines that there is a malfunction in the HO2 sensor heater and stores DTC P0141 or P0161.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
- Sensor 2 refers to the sensor mounted behind the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and located far from the engine assembly.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
