OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0064 Honda

HO2S Heater Control Circuit High

What does this mean?

OBD2 Code P0064 Honda 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 OBD code P0064 Honda
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Causes

Possible causes of OBD code P0064 Honda
– Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 2 Sensor 3 circuit open shorted to ground – Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 2 Sensor 3 circuit poor electrical connection – Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 2 Sensor 3 circuit – Heated Oxygen Sensor (H2OS) Bank 2 Sensor 3 circuit fuse – Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: The P0064 Honda is set when the ECM detects an excessively high voltage through the heated oxygen sensor heater circuit
