Code No. P0032: Oxygen Sensor (front) Heater Circuit High Input
OPERATION
- Power is supplied to the heater power terminal of the oxygen sensor (front) connector from the engine control relay connector terminal.
- The heater of the oxygen sensor (front) connector terminal is controlled by the power transistor in the engine-ECU connector terminal OHFL.
FUNCTION
- The power supply to the oxygen sensor (front) heater is controlled by the ON/OFF control of the power transistor in the engine-ECU.
- Heating the oxygen sensor (front) heater enables the oxygen sensor (front) to provide good response even when the exhaust emission temperature is low.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Conditions
- More than 2 seconds have passed since the engine starting sequence was completed.
- While the oxygen sensor (front) heater is on.
- Battery positive voltage is more than 11 V and is less than 16.5 V.
- The oxygen sensor (front) heater current is more than 10.5 A for 2 seconds.
FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION
- None
PROBABLE CAUSES
- Failed oxygen sensor (front) heater
- Short circuit in oxygen sensor (front) heater circuit or loose connector contact
- Failed engine-ECU
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE |
STEP 1. Perform resistance measurement at oxygen sensor (front) connector. |
|
OK: 4.5 - 8.0 Ω (at 20°C) |
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
Go to Step 2. |
|
Repair or replace the connector, or replace the oxygen sensor (front). |
|
STEP 2. Check harness between engine control relay connector terminal and oxygen sensor (front) connector terminal. |
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
Go to Step 3. |
|
Repair or replace the connector, or repair the damaged harness wire. |
|
STEP 3. Check harness between oxygen sensor (front) connector terminal and engine-ECU connector terminal OHFL. |
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
Go to Step 4. |
|
Repair or replace the connector, or repair the damaged harness wire. |
|
STEP 4. M.U.T.-III diagnosis code |
|
Q.
Is diagnosis code set?
|
Replace the engine-ECU. |
