Measurement is achieved by comparing the oxygen content
of the exhaust gas to the oxygen content of a reference gas
(outside air) using the Nernst principle. Oxygen molecules
from the exhaust gas will accumulate on the outer electrode,
while oxygen molecules from the reference gas will
accumulate on the inner electrode. This creates a voltage
difference across the Nernst cell, between the two
electrodes, which is the signal voltage to the ECM.

W hen the fuel system is correctly operating in the closed-
loop mode, the oxygen sensor voltage output is rapidly
changing several times per second, fluctuating from
approximately 100mV (high oxygen content – lean mixture)
to 900mV (low oxygen content – rich mixture). The transition
from rich to lean occurs quickly at about 450-500 mV (air
flow (A/F) ratio 14.7:1, or lambda = 1). Due to this, two-step
HO2S sensors are also known as switching type HO2S
sensors.

• fuel trim DTCs, or
• catalyst DTCs.
1.3 Symptoms Diagnostics
The Diagnostic System Check directs the service technician to the symptoms diagnostics if the following conditions
exist:
• a vehicle driveability fault condition exists,
• there is no current diagnostic trouble code presently stored in the ECM, and
• all Tech 2 engine data parameters are within normal operating range.
1.4 Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The ECM constantly performs self-diagnostic tests on the engine management system. W hen the ECM detects a fault
condition in the engine operating parameters, the ECM sets a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to represent that fault
condition. The following are the types of DTCs programmed in the ECM. In addition, DTCs are classified as either a
current or history DTC.
• Type A – emission related DTCs,
• Type B – emission related DTCs, and
• Type C – non-emission related DTCs.
NOTE
Depending on the type of DTC set, the ECM may
command the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to
illuminate and warn the driver there is a fault in
the engine management system.
Type A – Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type A DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type A DTC that represents the fault condition,
• illuminates the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the freeze frame
failure record.
Type B – Emission Related DTCs
The ECM takes the following action when a Type B DTC runs and fails:
• On the first time a Type B DTC fails, the ECM takes the following actions:
− sets a current Type B DTC that represents the fault condition, and
− records the operating conditions at the time the fault sets and stores this information in the failure records.
• On the second consecutive ignition cycle that a Type B DTC fails, the ECM takes the following actions:
− activates the instrument cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), and
− records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the freeze frame
failure record.
Conditions for Clearing Type A or Type B DTCs
• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current ECM self-diagnostics.
• If there are no DTCs logged after three or four consecutive ignition cycles, the ECM deactivates the instrument
cluster malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
• Type A or Type B History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.

6.5 Alcohol / Contaminants in Fuel
Diagnosis
Description
W ater contamination in the fuel system may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, stalling, no start, or
misfires in one or more cylinders. W ater may collect near a single fuel injector at the lowest point in the fuel rail, and
cause a misfire in that cylinder. If the fuel system is contaminated with water, inspect the fuel system components for
rust, or deterioration.
Alcohol (e.g. Ethanol) concentrations more than 10% in the fuel can be detrimental to fuel system components. Alcohol
contamination may cause fuel system corrosion, deterioration of rubber components, and subsequent fuel filter
restriction. Fuel contaminated with alcohol may cause driveability conditions such as hesitation, lack of power, stalling,
or no start. Some types of alcohol are more detrimental to fuel system components than others.
Alcohol in Fuel Testing Procedure
NOTE
The procedures detailed are not intended to be
accurate but rather, indicative of a contamination
situation.
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any water present in the tank will be detected. The
sample should be bright and clear. If alcohol contamination is suspected, then use the following procedure to test the
fuel quality.
• Using a 100 ml graduated cylinder with 1 ml marks, fill the cylinder with fuel to the 90 ml mark.
• Add 10 ml of water to bring the total fluid volume to 100 ml and install a stopper.
• Shake the cylinder vigorously for 10 – 15 seconds.
• Carefully loosen the stopper to release the pressure.
• Re-install the stopper and shake the cylinder vigorously again for 10 – 15 seconds.
• Put the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes to allow adequate liquid separation.
If alcohol is present in the fuel, the volume of the lower layer, that now contains both alcohol and water, will be more
than 10 ml. For example, if the volume of the lower layer is increased to 15 ml, this indicates at least 5 percent alcohol in
the fuel. The actual amount of alcohol may be somewhat more because this procedure does not extract all of the
alcohol from the fuel. To obtain an accurate determination of the amount of alcohol contamination in a given fuel sample,
then professional analysis should be sought.
Particulate Contaminants in Fuel Testing Procedure
The fuel sample should be drawn from the bottom of the tank so that any contaminants present in the tank will be
detected. The sample should be bright and clear. If the sample appears cloudy or contaminated with water as indicated
by a water layer at the bottom of the sample, use the following procedure to diagnose the fuel.
• Using an approved fuel container, draw approximately 0.5 litre of fuel.
• Place the cylinder on a level surface for approximately 5 minutes to allow settling of the particulate contamination.
Particulate contamination will show up in various shapes and colours. Sand will typically be identified by a white or light
brown crystals. Rubber will appear as black and irregular particles. If particles are found, clean the entire fuel system
thoroughly. Refer to 6C Fuel System – V6.
6.6 Crankshaft Position (CKP) System
Variation Learn Procedure
Description
The crankshaft position system variation learn feature is carried out automatically on the HFV6 engine under decel with
fuel cut. The road speed and duration of the self-learn process varies with different vehicle equipment levels such as
transmission, final drive ratio etc.
The variation learn procedure cannot be over-written, nor can it be accessed with Tech 2.

7.5 DTC P0053 or P0059
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
• DTC P0053 – O2 Sensor Heater Resistance Range / Performance (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
• DTC P0059 – O2 Sensor Heater Resistance Range / Performance (Bank 2, Sensor 1)
Circuit Description
The engine control relay applies positive voltage to the heater ignition voltage circuits of the HO2S. The ECM applies a
pulse width modulated (PW M) ground to the heater control circuit of the HO2S through a device within the ECM called a
driver, to control the HO2S rate of heating.
The ECM maintains the voltage between the reference signal circuit and low reference circuit of the HO2S 1 to about
450 mV by increasing or decreasing the oxygen content in the HO2S diffusion gap. To achieve this, the ECM controls
the current applied to the oxygen pumping cell in the HO2S.
• If the air / fuel mixture in the exhaust is balanced (lambda = 1), the oxygen pumping cell current is zero.
• If the exhaust gas in the HO2S 1 diffusion gap is lean, the ECM applies a positive current to the oxygen pumping
cell to discharge oxygen from the diffusion gap.
• If the exhaust gas in the HO2S 1 diffusion gap is rich, the ECM applies a negative current to the oxygen pumping
cell to draw oxygen into the diffusion gap.
The pumping current required to maintain the HO2S 1 signal circuit voltage to about 450 mV is proportional to the level
of oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. The ECM monitors and evaluates the oxygen pumping current to determine
the level of oxygen concentration in the exhaust.
An HO2S internal heater resistance performance DTC sets if the ECM detects an internal fault condition in the ECM
HO2S heater circuit.

• The calculated exhaust temperature is greater than 400ºC.
• The engine does not misfire.
• The ignition voltage is 10.0 – 16.0 V.
• The HO2S is commanded on.
• The engine is running at speed greater than 25 rpm
Conditions for Setting the DTC
There is an internal fault condition in the ECM HO2S heater circuit.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
