Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements 

Test procedure 

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

Start diagnosis 

-- Connect scan tool.

-- Start the engine and let it run at idle.

-- Select "Diagnostic mode 6: Check test results of components that are not continuously monitored".

-- Select "Test-ID 02: Oxygen sensor monitoring behind catalytic converter".

-- Select following Test-IDs.

-- Compare the specified values in the Mode 6 table to the scan tool readings at idle.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Switch the ignition OFF.

-- Fault may be intermittent.

-- Check for loose or corroded connections and any leaks in the exhaust.

-- Check Freeze Frame data for conditions when the DTC set.

-- Go to Final procedures.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- For connector location, removal and installation procedures. Refer to the appropriate Service Information.

-- Remove the engine covers. Refer to the appropriate Service Information.

-- Switch ignition ON.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen sensor after three way catalytic converter - G130- electrical harness connector terminals 3 to 4 for voltage.

-- Switch ignition OFF.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Replace the oxygen sensor. Oxygen sensor after three way catalytic converter - G130- Refer to the appropriate Service Information for removal and installation procedures.

-- Go to Final procedures.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

Checking wiring and connections 

-- Remove the engine control module. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for removal and installation procedures.

-- Using a Multimeter, measure the resistance of the signal and reference ground circuits between the oxygen sensor and the engine control module. Refer to the appropriate System Wiring Diagram.
