P2270-36: Downstream Oxygen Sensor Signal Stuck Lean – Signal Frequency Too Low

Overview:

ISO Code

P2270 – 36

Customer Symptom

Drivability will get affected during idle and part Load conditions

Fault Effects (On Vehicle)

1. Deactivation of Lambda regulation behind Catalyst.

2. Emission will detoriate.

3. Sluggish response for transients and Bad driveability.

Lamp Status (If Any)

MIL ON after 3 drive cycles

Fault Detection Condition

This fault gets logged if EMS ECU finds the downstream oxygen response

is too slow to the Engine operating conditions.

Normal Operating Condition

Downstream oxygen Sensor heater resistance is in between the maximum

and minimum threshold set for this parameter.

Probable Trouble Area

Wiring Harness Connections / Sensor

Healing Condition

Engine running and 3 drive cycles

Fault permanent deletion

1. Clear DTC Command form Scan tool

2. Stack Over Flow.

3. 40 warm up cycles.

4. ECU Flashing.

5. ECU Power-Fail

Component Details:

Lambda Sensor:

The oxygen Sensor operates on the principle of galvanic oxygen concentration cell (Nernst cell) with

solid electrolyte (Nernst's principle). The ceramic sensing element is a conductor of oxygen ions from a temperature of

350 C. A heater is integrated on the sensing element. It is placed into the exhaust manifold. The sensing element

compares the residual oxygen content in the exhaust gas with the oxygen content in the reference atmosphere (air

surrounding the sensing element). This gives an output voltage between 100mV (lean exhaust gas) to 800mV (rich

exhaust gas), depending on whether the exhaust gas is lean or rich.

Preliminary Checks:

1) Loose/ Damaged Connections between Sensor and EMS ECU.

2) Check for back out of pins at both Sensor connector and ECU connector.

3) Check for damage of pins at both Sensor connector and ECU connector.

4) Check the continuity from Sensor connector pins to the ECU pins.
