P0044 OBD Code Definition:
P0044 HO2S Heater Control Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 3
P0044 OBD Code Description:
OBD2 Code P0044 Definition:
Oxygen Sensors (O2S) or Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) need to reach a minimum operating temperature of 750 degrees F to produce an accurate voltage signal. The faster the heated oxygen sensor reaches that temperature the faster the sensor will start sending an accurate signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM). In order to achieve the require temperature, a heater element is included inside the heated oxygen sensor. The ECM controls the heated oxygen sensor heater element based on signals from the engine coolant temperature and engine load. The ECM controls the heater element circuit by allowing current flow to ground. The ECM monitors the voltage signal received through the heater element circuit and determines the state of the circuit by comparing the voltage detected with the factory specifications.
Symptoms
Possible sumptoms of P0044
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
Possible Causes
Possible causes of P0044
– Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit open shorted to ground – Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit poor electrical connection – Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 1 Sensor 3 circuit – Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The P0044 is set when the ECM detects an excessively high voltage through the heated oxygen sensor heater circuit
Possible Solutions
HO2S Heater Control Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 3 is the generic Definition for the P0044; however your vehicle’s manufacturer may have a different Definition and information for the P0044 code.
Note: The information on the P0044 error code is purely informative, if you need more useful information, please consult your technician.
