• Ignition switched off.

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK 

Start diagnosis 

-- Remove the right vehicle floor cover -arrows-.

Checking internal resistance 

-- Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) -G130- electrical harness connector -arrow-.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) -G130- electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.

Specified value: 1.0 to 20.0 Ω (at approx. 20° C)

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Replace the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) - G130-. Refer to Repair information.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking voltage supply 

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) - G130- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Engine Component Power Supply Relay -J757- terminal 2 for an open circuit.

Specified value: Battery voltage.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking Ground (GND) activation 

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

-- Install the test box. Refer to Repair information.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to Repair information.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) -G130- electrical harness connector terminal 2 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- electrical harness connector T94 terminal 7 for an open circuit according to the wiring diagram.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specification was not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220-. Refer to Repair information.

-- Install the right vehicle floor cover.

Final procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .

-- End of diagnosis.
