HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK
<Right bank and left bank heated oxygen sensor
(front)>

1.Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor connector and connect the special tool (test harness) to the connector on the heated oxygen sensor side.
2.Make sure that there is continuity [4.5-8.0 Ω at 20°C (68°F)] between terminal 1 (red clip of special tool) and terminal 3 (blue clip of special tool) on the heated oxygen sensor connector.
3.If there is no continuity, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
4.Warm up the engine until engine coolant is 80°C (176°F) or higher.
5.Use the jumper wires to connect terminal 1 (red clip) of the heated oxygen sensor connector to the battery (+) terminal and terminal 3 (blue clip) to the battery (-) terminal.
CAUTION: Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen sensor.


6.Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal 2 (black clip) and terminal 4 (white clip).
7.While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the heated oxygen sensor output voltage.
Standard value:

Engine Heated oxygen sensor
output voltage
Remarks
When
racing
engine
0.6 - 1.0V If you make the air/
fuel ratio rich by
racing the engine
repeatedly, a normal
heated oxygen
sensor will output a
voltage of 0.6 - 1.0V.


8.If the sensor is defective, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
NOTE: For removal and installation of the heated oxygen sensor, refer to GROUP 15 - Exhaust Pipe and Main Muffler
.

<Right bank and left bank heated oxygen sensor
(rear)>

1.Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
2.Make sure that there is continuity [7-40 Ω at 20°C (68°F)] between terminal 1 and terminal 3 on the heated oxygen sensor connector.
3.If there is no continuity, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
NOTE: If the scan tool does not display the standard value although no abnormality is found by the abovementioned continuity test and harness check, replace the heated oxygen sensor (rear).
NOTE: For removal and installation of the oxygen sensor, refer to GROUP 15 - Exhaust Pipe and Main Muffler
