HO2S Sensor Circuit Malfunction (HO2S-11) During testing the HO2S Heaters are checked for opens/shorts and excessive current draw.
The test fails when current draw exceeds a calibrated limit and/or an open or short is detected. Short to VPWR in harness or HO2S. Water in harness connector. Open VPWR circuit. Open GND circuit. Low battery voltage. Corrosion or poor mating terminals and wiring Damaged HO2S heater. Damaged PCM.
Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P0026, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P0026 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.
If your p0026 intake valve control solenoid circuit range/performance bank 1 check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system P0026 and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different p0026 intake valve control solenoid circuit range/performance bank 1, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.
