Diagnosis Information DME
P013502 sensor heater, function
NOTE: The function checks the sensor temperature (by measuring the internal resistance of the Nernst cell) depending on the exhaust temperature. This can be used to discover discrepancies between the set point and actual
temperature of the 02 sensor, from which a faulty heating control can be
deduced.
If the DME has detected a vehicle voltage > 16 V, fuel trim is also interrupted.
Diagnostic conditions
- DME control unit power supply voltage (DME) 10 V ... 16 V
- Exhaust temperature 300 °C (572 °F) ... 600 °C (1,112 °F)
- Time after engine starts > 200 s
- Intake air temperature > -7 °C (19 °F)
- No overrun
- No other driver fault of 02 sensor heater
Possible fault causes
- Vehicle voltage > 16 V
- Connector corrosion
- Contact resistance in the lines
- 02 sensor faulty
- DME control unit faulty
