CIRCUIT OPERATION
• Power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal No. 4) to the heated oxygen sensor (front) heater.
• The ECM (terminal No. 60) <M/T> or PCM (terminal No. 3) <A/T> controls continuity to the heated oxygen sensor (front) heater by turning the power transistor in the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> "ON" and "OFF". TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> checks whether the heater current is within a specified range when the heater is energized. DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
• An open or short circuit is detected while monitoring the amperage that flows to the heated oxygen sensor (front) at the engine coolant temperature of 20°C (68°F) or above. MONITOR EXECUTION

• Not applicable
Sensor (The sensor below is determined to be normal)
• Engine coolant temperature sensor DTC SET CONDITIONS Logic Flow Chart
Check Conditions
60 seconds have elapsed from the start of the previous monitoring.
Engine coolant temperature is higher than 20°C (68°F).
While the heated oxygen sensor (front) heater is on.
Battery positive voltage is at between 11 and 16.5 volts.
Judgment Criterion
• Heater current of the heated oxygen sensor (front) heater has continued to be lower than 0.16 ampere or higher than 7.5 ampere for 4 seconds. OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 2 . TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this code to be set are: )
• Open or shorted heated oxygen sensor (front) heater circuit.
• Open circuit in heated oxygen sensor (front) heater.
• ECM failed. <M/T>
• PCM failed. <A/T>
