P0139-O2 SENSOR 1/2 SLOW RESPONSE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation
The downstream O2 Sensor is located in the exhaust path behind the catalytic converter, is monitored for proper
response to assure optimum catalytic converter efficiency. The downstream O2 response monitor is intended to
diagnose a downstream O2 sensor that is not moving or stuck in a voltage window and to insure accurate infor-
mation for catalyst monitor diagnosis.
When Monitored:
Start engine. Allow engine to idle. For 1st part of test, if limits are exceeded, test passes. If not, 2nd part of
test runs. amb/batt temp >44°F, Baro >22.13
H2O, battery >10.5 volts, MAP >11.79 & <18.15H2O, RPM

P0141-O2 SENSOR 1/2 HEATER PERFORMANCE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation
This diagnostic provides a continuous check of the O2 heater circuit during operation. The heater circuit is momen-
tarily disabled to allow a resistance measurement to be taken to infer heater temperature. The current delivery to
the heater is duty cycled to maintain a specific target temperature. The error from the target temperature is contin-
uously monitored to assess heater performance.
When Monitored:
With battery voltage greater than 10.5 volts, at a cold start, ECT less than147°F, battery temperature sensor
equal to or less than 27°F, and engine at idle for at least 12 seconds.
Set Condition:
