P0058 High signal level in the heater control circuit of the oxygen sensor (HO2S) (bank 2, sensor 2)

OBD-II DTC Datasheet

Generic: HO2S Heater Control Circuit High (Bank 2 Sensor 2) Nissan: Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 Bank 2

What does this mean?

This code is a generic transmission code. It is considered universal as it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996 and newer), although the specific repair steps may differ slightly depending on the model.

Oxygen sensors with a heating element are widely used in modern engines. Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) are inputs used by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) to detect the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system.

The PCM uses the information it receives from the 2,2 HO2S bank primarily to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter. An integral part of this sensor is the heating element. Whereas pre-OBD II cars had a single wire oxygen sensor, four wire sensors are now more commonly used: two for the oxygen sensor and two for the heater element. The oxygen sensor heater basically reduces the time it takes to reach a closed loop. The PCM controls the heater on time. The PCM also constantly monitors the heater circuits for abnormal voltage or, in some cases, even abnormal current.

Depending on the make of vehicle, the oxygen sensor heater is controlled in one of two ways. (1) The PCM directly controls the voltage supply to the heater, either directly or through the oxygen sensor (HO2S) relay, and ground is supplied from the vehicle's common ground. (2) There is a 12 volt battery fuse (B+) that supplies 12 volts to the heater element any time the ignition is on and the heater is controlled by a driver in the PCM that controls the ground side of the heater circuit. . Figuring out which one you have is important because the PCM will activate the heater under a variety of circumstances. If the PCM detects abnormally high voltage on the heater circuit, P0058 may set. This code only applies to half of the oxygen sensor heating circuit. Bank 2 is the side of the engine that does not contain cylinder #1.

symptoms

Symptoms of a P0058 trouble code may include:

• MIL Illumination (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)

Most likely, there will be no other symptoms.

reasons

Possible causes of a P0058 code include:

• Faulty row 2,2 HO2S (heated oxygen sensor)
• Open in Heater Control Circuit (12V PCM Controlled Systems)
• Short to B + (battery voltage) in the heater control circuit (12V PCM controlled systems)
• Open Ground Circuit (12V PCM Controlled Systems)
• Short to ground in the heater control circuit (on PCM grounded systems)

Possible solutions

First, visually inspect the HO2S (Heated Oxygen Sensor) 2, 2 block and its wiring harness. If there is any damage to the sensor or any damage to the wiring, fix it as needed. Check for exposed wires where wiring enters the sensor. This often leads to fatigue and short circuits. Make sure the wiring is routed away from the exhaust pipe. Repair the wiring or replace the sensor if necessary.

If okay, disconnect bank 2,2 HO2S and check for 12 volts + (or ground, depending on the system) with the key off with the engine off. Verify heater control circuit (ground) is intact. If so, remove the o2 sensor and inspect it for damage. If you have access to resistance characteristics, you can use an ohmmeter to test the resistance of the heating element. Infinite resistance indicates an open circuit in the heater. Replace o2 sensor if necessary.
