P0152 HO2S Circuit High Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 1
060R200054
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a bias
voltage of about 450 mV between the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signal high and signal low circuits. When
measured with a 10 megaohm digital voltmeter, this may
display as low as 320 mV. The oxygen sensor varies the
voltage within a range of about 1000 mV when the
exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when exhaust
is lean. The PCM constantly monitors the HO2S signal
during ªclosed loopº operation and compensates for a rich
or lean condition by decreasing or increasing the injector
pulse width as necessary. If the Bank 2 HO2S 1 voltage
remains excessively high for an extended period of time,
DTC P0152 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No related DTCs.

The engine is operating in ªclosed loopº.

The engine coolant temperature is above 60
C
(140
F).

Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains above 952 mV
during normal ªclosed loopº operation for a total of 77
seconds over a 90-second period.
OR

Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal voltage remains above 500 mV
during deceleration fuel cutoff mode operation for up to
3 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will ªONº the MIL after second trip with
detected fault

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.

ªOpen loopº fuel control will be in effect.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P0152 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P0152 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Fuel pressure ± The system will go rich if pressure is
too high. The PCM can compensate for some
increase. However, if fuel pressure is too high, a DTC
P0152 may be set. Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis.

Rich injector(s) ± Perform ªInjector Balance Testº.

Leaking injector ± Refer to
Fuel System Diagnosis.

Evaporative emissions (EVAP) system ± Check the
canister for fuel saturation. If the canister is full of fuel,

6E±198
6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
check EVAP control system components and hoses.
Refer to Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
System.

MAF sensor ± The system can go rich if the MAF
sensor signal indicates an engine airflow
measurement that is not correct. Disconnect the MAF
sensor to see if rich condition is corrected. If so,
replace MAF sensor.

Check for leaking fuel pressure regulator diaphragm by
checking vacuum line to regulator for the presence of
fuel. There should be no fuel in the vacuum line.

TP sensor ± An intermittent TP sensor output will
cause the system to go rich, due to a false indication
of the engine accelerating.

Shorted Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)± If the HO2S
is internally shorted, the HO2S voltage displayed on
the Tech 2 will be over 1 volt. Try disconnecting the
affected HO2S with the key ªONº, engine ªOFFº. If the
displayed HO2S voltage changes from over 1000 mV
to around 450 mV, replace the HO2S. Silicon
contamination of the HO2S can cause a high HO2S
voltage to be indicated. This condition is indicated by
powdery deposit on the portion of the HO2S exposed
to the exhaust stream. If contamination is noticed,
replace the affected HO2S.

Open HO2S Signal Circuit of Faulty HO2S± A poor
connection or open in the HO2S signal circuit cancause the DTC to set during deceleration fuel mode.
An HO2S which is faulty and not allowing a full voltage
switch between the rich and lean thresholds can also
cause the condition. Operate the vehicle while
monitoring the HO2S voltage with a Tech 2. If the
HO2S is limited within a range between 300 mV to
600 mV, check the HO2S signal circuit wiring and
associated terminal connections.

If none of the above conditions are present, replace the
affected HO2S.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
3. DTC P0152 failing during deceleration fuel cutoff
mode operation may indicate a condition described
in the ªDiagnostic Aidsº above. If the DTC P0152
test passes while the Failure Records conditions are
being duplicated, an intermittent condition is
indicated.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.

P0157 HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 2
060R200054
Circuit Description
To control emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx), a
three-way catalytic converter is used. The catalyst within
the converter promotes a chemical reaction which
oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas,
converting them into harmless water vapor and carbon
dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx, converting it to
nitrogen. The powertrain control module (PCM) has the
ability to monitor this process using the Bank 2 HO2S 1
and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 heated oxygen sensors. The
Bank 2 HO2S 1 sensor produces an output signal which
indicates the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust
gas entering the three-way catalytic converter. The Bank
2 HO2S 2 sensor produces an output signal which
indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst; this
in turn indicates the catalyst's ability to convert exhaust
gases efficiently. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the
Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal will be far more active than that
produced by the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensor. If the Bank 2
HO2S 2 signal voltage remains excessively low for an
extended period of time, DTC P0157 will be set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No related DTCs.

The engine is operating in ªclosed loopº.

Engine coolant temperature is above 60
C (140
F).
ªClosed loopº commanded air/fuel ratio is between
14.5 and 14.8

Bank 2 HO2S 2 signal voltage remains below 22 mV
during normal ªclosed loopº operation for a total of 106
seconds over a 125-second period of time.
OR

Bank 2 HO2S 2 signal voltage remains below 400 mV
during ªpower enrichmentº mode fuel control operation
for up to 5 seconds.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the

contamination of the HO2S can also cause a high
HO2S voltage to be indicated. This condition isindicated by a powdery deposit on the portion of the
HO2S exposed to the exhaust stream. If
contamination is noticed, replace the affected HO2S.

Open HO2S signal or low circuit, or faulty HO2S ± A
poor connection or open in the HO2S signal or low
circuit can cause the DTC to set during deceleration
fuel cutoff mode operation. An HO2S which is faulty
and does not allow full voltage swing between the rich
and lean thresholds can also cause this condition.
Operate the vehicle while monitoring the HO2S voltage
with a Tech 2. If the HO2S voltage is limited within a
range between 300 mV to 600 mV, check the HO2S
signal and low circuit wiring and associated terminal

replace the HO2S.

If none of above conditions are present, replace the
