Hummer H2. Manual — part 1533

DTC P0132 OR P0152

Circuit Description

Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) are used for fuel control and post catalyst monitoring. Each HO2S compares the
oxygen content of the surrounding air with the oxygen content in the exhaust stream. The HO2S must reach
operating temperature to provide an accurate voltage signal. Heating elements inside the HO2S minimize the
time required for the sensors to reach operating temperature. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies the
HO2S with a reference, or bias, voltage of about 450 mV. When the engine is first started the PCM operates in
open loop, ignoring the HO2S voltage signal. Once the HO2S reaches operating temperature and closed loop is
achieved, the HO2S generates a voltage within a range of 0-1,000 mV that fluctuates above and below bias
voltage. High HO2S voltage indicates a rich exhaust stream; low HO2S voltage indicates a lean exhaust stream.
If the PCM detects an HO2S voltage that stays above a specified value, DTC P0132 sets for HO2S bank 1
sensor 1, or DTC P0152 sets for HO2S bank 2 sensor 1.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic
reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze
Frame and updates the Failure Records.

z

The control module commands the Loop Status open.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.
