OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK
Oxygen sensor (front)
1.
Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool test harness (MD998464) to the connector
on the oxygen sensor side.
2.
Make sure that there is continuity (4.5
ï
8.0
:
at 20
˚
C)
between terminal No. 1 (red clip of special tool) and No.
3 (blue clip of special tool) on the oxygen sensor connector.
3.
If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
4.
Warm up the engine until engine coolant is 80
˚
C or higher.
5.
Perform a tracing for 5 minutes or more with the engine
speed of 4,500 r/min.
6.
Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No.
2 (black clip of special tool) and No. 4 (white clip of special
tool).
7.
While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the oxygen
sensor output voltage.
Standard value:
Engine
Oxygen sensor
output voltage
Remarks
When
racing the
engine
0.6
ï
1.0 V
If you make the air-fuel ratio
rich by racing the engine
repeatedly, a normal oxy-
gen sensor will output a
voltage of 0.6
ï
1.0 V.
Caution
D
Be very careful when connecting the jumper wire;
incorrect connection can damage the oxygen
sensor.
D
Be careful the heater is broken when voltage of
beyond 8V is applied to the oxygen sensor heater.
NOTE
If the sufficiently high temperature (of approximate 400
˚
C
or more) is not reached although the oxygen sensor is
normal, the output voltage would be possibly low although
the rich air-fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output voltage is
low, use a jumper wire to connect the terminal No.1 (red
clip of special tool) and the terminal No. 3 (blue clip of
special tool) of the oxygen sensor with a (+) terminal
and (
ï
) terminal of 8 V power supply respectively, then
check again.
8.
If the sensor is defective, replace the oxygen sensor.
NOTE
For removal and installation of the oxygen sensor, refer
to GROUP 15
ï
Exhaust Manifold.
