Diagnostic Aids

NOTE: If any other DTCs are present, diagnose those first.

Oxygen Sensor Wire - Sensor may be mispositioned contacting the exhaust. Check for short to ground between harness and sensor and on sensor harness Injectors - System will be rich if an injector driver or driver circuit fails shorted-toground. The system will also be rich if an injector fails in an open. Fuel Pressure - System will be rich if fuel pressure is too high. Check fuel pressure in the fuel rail during key-on, engine off and during normal operating conditions. System Grounding - ECM and engine must be grounded to the battery with very little resistance allowing for proper current flow. Faulty grounds can cause current supply issues resulting in many undesired problems. If all tests are OK, replace the HO2S sensor with a known good part and retest.

SPN 4239, FMI 0 - Adaptive-Learn Bank 2 High (Gasoline)

PK/BK

• Heated or Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen Sensor (Bank 2-Sensor 1/Bank 1-Before Catalyst) • Check Condition- Engine Running • Fault Condition- Bank 2 adaptive fuel multiplier higher than defined in diagnostic calibration • Corrective Action(s)- Illuminate MIL and/or sound audible warning or illuminate secondary warning lamp, disable adaptive learn fueling correction for key-cycle, and possibly disable closed-loop fueling correction during active fault . • Emissions related fault

The HEGO/HO2S sensor is a switching-type sensor around stoichiometry that measures the oxygen content present in the exhaust to determine if the fuel flow to the engine is correct. A UEGO sensor measures the exhaust content across a wide-range of air-fuel ratios with a linear output proportional to lambda/equivalence ratio/air-fuel ratio. In either case, if there is a deviation between the expected reading and the actual reading, fuel flow is precisely adjusted for each bank using the Closed Loop multiplier and then “learned” with the Adaptive multiplier. The multipliers only update when the system is in either “CL Active” or “CL + Adapt” control modes. The purpose of the Adaptive Learn fuel multiplier is to adjust fuel flow due to variations in fuel composition, engine wear, engine-toengine build variances, and component degradation.

This fault sets if the Adaptive multiplier exceeds the high limit of normal operation indicating that the engine is operating lean (excess oxygen) and requires more fuel than allowed by corrections. Often high positive fueling corrections are a function of one or more of the following conditions: 1) exhaust leaks upstream or near the HEGO sensor, 2) reduced fuel supply pressure to the fuel injection system, 3) a non-responsive HEGO/UEGO sensor, and/or 3) an injector that is stuck closed. This fault should be configured to disable adaptive learn for the remainder of the key-cycle to avoid improperly learning the adaptive learn table and may be configured to disable closed loop.
