What is your question?
My 08 Chevy Aveo keeps blowing the EMS2 immediately. It is also throwing codes about low voltage or open circuit which I believe is affected by the EMS2.I disconnected the oxygen sensor and it still blew... any ideas?? I have even tried putting in a bigger one and it blew it too!!
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing makes it change
How long has your 2008 Chevrolet Aveo had this problem?
After I completed a head job on it

That fuse is designated to the stop light circuit .. That's where you should consentrate your repair efforts - not under the hood.
Also never a good idea to use a larger fuse, if fuse immediately blowing you have a short someplace. A larger fuse may allow component or wiring to heat up enough to cause further damage or even a fire. Find a wiring diagram and trace out what components are on circuit. Like previously stated that fuse is for the stop light circuit, however if you just did major under hood repairs, be sure to inspect any harnesses moved or disconnected for misrouting, chaffing or pinched under components. Good Luck
Do I unplug it behind the pedal and see if it still blows??
It's throwing codes PO340, PO660, PO458, and PO403 all involving the circuit... I unplugged behind the brake pedal and its still blowing the EMS2Â
EMS 1 is designated to engine management.
What’s not working about the vehicle since this problem has occurred?

After further research (on your behalf) - sedan is different from hatchback: EMS2 - LEGR Valve, HO2S, EVAP Canister Purge Solenoid, CMP Sensor Complete reversed for some odd reason - whatever! Now - the codes you posted involve the canister purge solenoid and camshaft position sensor - which is listed above as you can see, We have no idea and can’t even guess as to where the short to ground is going to be located .. That said - it is very possible to have a sensor shorted internally - can try disconnecting wiring connectors however the short circuit can be located at any point within the particular failed circuit. It is going to take time and familiarity with troubleshooting this type failure to discover the actual culprit. Without personnel *hands-on* testing - that’s all the ammo I have. Good luck!
Can use a 12 volt test light instead of blowing a bunch of fuses - test light should NOT light if used in place of the fuse - test light clip to one fuse terminal - test light point to the other fuse terminal.
