Oxygen Sensor

  1. Before testing oxygen sensor, check the following conditions: engine oil temperature at 176°F (80°C) minimum, radiator fan must cycle at least once, pressure gauges NOT connected, exhaust system free of leaks, oxygen sensor control working properly, all electrical units turned off (radiator fan and A/C must be off during test), and engine speed at 3000 RPM for 2 minutes.
  2. Connect test harness between differential pressure regulator and vehicle harness. Connect multimeter to test harness. Run engine at idle. After 2 minutes running time, oxygen sensor is heated up enough to work.
  3. Current reading should fluctuate at idle. If not, check current reading at 3000 RPM. If reading fluctuates, oxygen sensor is good. If reading does not fluctuate at 3000 RPM, replace oxygen sensor.
