The PCM detects that the 2/2 Oxygen Sensor signal voltage is below approximately 1.5 volts for 2.8
seconds after engine startup. The DTC will set as Pending after one trip and Active after two trips.
Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Possible Causes
(K904) O2 RETURN DOWNSTREAM CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(K243) O2 2/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-
Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).

1.ACTIVE DTC

1. Turn the ignition on.

2. With a scan tool, select View DTCs. Record DTC and Freeze Frame information.

3. Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your
hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

4. With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the DTC Active at this time?

Yes
