What is the diagnostic code for ho2s heater?
This diagnostic trouble code specifically refers to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) located in front of the catalytic converter. The role of this sensor is to measure the oxygen content in the exhaust gases leaving the engine. This reading is also compared to the outside air. As mentioned above, this oxygen sensor has a heater element.
What does the p0032 code in ho2s mean?
P0032 is triggered when the PCM detects a problem in the operation of the heater element of an oxygen sensor located in Bank 1, the side of the engine with cylinder #1. What Does the P0032 Code Mean?
Can a heater with an oxygen sensor fail?
Oxygen sensor heaters do fail. But there are other possible causes for a heater DTC. Before screwing in a new sensor, this simple test will determine whether everything else is in order. As vehicles grow older, there comes a point when the oxygen or air/fuel ratio sensor’s heater circuit will probably fail.
What kind of heater to use for O2 sensor?
When testing the O 2 sensor’s heater circuit, I found using a #7440 incandescent light bulb and socket very helpful. You connect the light to the vehicle’s O 2 sensor heater harness in place of the sensor. The light bulb draws about 1.75A at 12V.

What should the O2 sensor temperature be in an oxygen heater?
The Oxygen sensor heater maintains a sensor temperature of about 600 degrees Fahrenheit or 315.5 degrees Celcius. This is the normal operating temperature for the O2 sensor.

What does the code on the oxygen sensor mean?
The code means that there is a problem with the heater element circuit of the heated oxygen sensor. The control module monitors how long it take the sensor to warm up and start sending an adequate signal. The code is triggered when the sensor is taking too long to warm up.
