What happens if o2 sensor is wired wrong?
Wiring it up incorrectly will just make it appear dead to the ECU.
How to test resistance of O2 sensor heater?
Take your resistance reading and compare it to the specification in your manual. The O2 sensor heater is the component inside the oxygen sensor responsible for heating the sensor up more quickly than the exhaust would. Engineers found that by adding a heater to an oxygen sensor the sensor heats up more quickly.
What does Bank 1 mean on an O2 sensor heater?
This code indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has tested the oxygen sensor heater circuit and has found a problem with sensor 1 in bank 1. Bank 1 refers to the side of the engine that has the #1 cylinder. Bank 2 would be the opposite side of this.
What is the OBD code for an oxygen heater?
The onboard diagnostic (OBD) code P0135 is an oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction in bank 1, sensor 1.
What does the O 2 sensor heater driver do?
The computer is looking for 12V on the sensor’s negative control wire while the computer’s O 2 sensor heater circuit driver (the power transistor in the computer) is open. With the wire being grounded, the O 2 sensor heater circuit came on as soon as the ignition switch was turned on.
Is there test to check O2 sensor heater?
And in that respect, they’re fundamentally the same. One popular test is to check the amperage of the O 2 sensor’s heater circuit. This test confirms that the O 2 sensor’s heater itself is working and would lead you to believe that the vehicle is fixed.
Where are the wires on the oxygen sensor?
Note that Brown/Violet and Brown/Light Green wires belong to the heater circuits of the front oxygen sensors. In Chrysler vehicles, four wire oxygen sensor heater circuits tend to be powered by the PCM instead of grounded (they are grounded to the chassis).
