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.
X
or
XX
- These characters identify the location of the O2 sensor in
relation to a cylinder bank. An O2 sensor for cylinder bank 1 is
identified by the designation “1” of “B1”; a sensor for cylinder bank 2
is identified as “2” or “B2.”
