O2 Sensor Fuse Wiring Diagram

965 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  mobro
I have scoured the internet and cannot find the wiring diagrams for the harnesses plugged into the fuse panel on the passenger side of the engine compartment
The 15a fuse 54 for the O2 sensors keeps shorting out and I have been trying to track it down for what feels like forever

2007 Xterra Off Road

I found one grounded wire on each of the two downstream sensor connectors and no ground connected wire for the upstream sensor connectors
I then found the lower section of the 15a fuse is going to ground
I then unplugged the upper 16pin harness and found the fuse was no longer going to ground
I then found two wires on the 16 pin connector (red, and yellow) going to ground

I need a wiring diagram for that harness to find out where in those wires are going so I can either repair the short or run a new wire

I had been digging through that but I cant find anything with the pin out for the harnesses going into the fuse panel
I will continue to look for it though

Pinout for the ECM will be in the Engine Control section. Pinout for the fuse box will most like be in the Electrical section of the service manual. Many shorts in oxygen sensors are cause by a broken/shorted heating element in the sensor, itself. If you unplug the sensors, see if the fuse will still blow. If it does, that means it's in the harness circuit. If it doesn't, try plugging the O2 sensors in one at a time until the fuse blows; this may help identify a shorted sensor. Keep in mind the rear sensors are oxygen sensors, whereas the front sensors are air/fuel ratio sensors. Air/fuel ratio sensors have 5-wires instead of 4 and work a little differently than oxygen sensors.
How did you unplug that connector! I'm worried about breaking something trying on mine.
