O2 Sensor Test
OBD2 regulations require that applicable vehicles monitor and test operation
of the oxygen (O2) sensors to identify problems that can affect fuel
efficiency and vehicle emissions. These tests are performed automatically
when engine operating conditions are within predefined limits. Results of
these tests are stored in the on-board computer's memory.
The O2 Sensor Test function lets you retrieve and view O2 sensor
monitor test results for the most recently completed tests from your
vehicle's on-board computer.
Vehicles are equipped with multiple O2 sensors. O2 sensors are
installed both upstream of (before) and downstream of (after) the
exhaust system Catalytic Converters. The name of an O2 sensor
identifies its location in the exhaust system. The name of each O2
sensor is made up of three parts:
O2S XX YY -or- O2S X Y
O2S - this is the basic designation for all O2 sensors.
