Checking Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Heater
NOTE:
For connector terminal ID, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS - 3.5L
article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. After each repair, perform TEST VER-2
.
NOTE:
Scan tool displays left oxygen sensor as O2 and right oxygen sensor as O2R.
- Turn ignition on. Wait 2 minutes for Oxygen Sensor (O2S) voltage to stabilize. Using scan tool, read left O2S voltage. If voltage is not 0.4-0.6 volt, go to step 4). If voltage is 0.4-0.6 volt, go to next step.
- Disconnect left O2S connector. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on left O2S connector terminal No. 4 (Light Green/Black wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Light Green/Black wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of left O2S connector terminal No. 3 (Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms replace left O2S.
- If voltage is not 0.4-0.6 volt in step 1), read right O2S voltage. If voltage is not 0.4-0.6 volt, test passed. if voltage is 0.4-0.6 volt, go to next step.
- Disconnect right O2S connector. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on right O2S connector terminal No. 4 (Light Green/Black wire). If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open Light Green/Black wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
- Using scan tool in ohmmeter mode, check resistance of right O2S connector terminal No. 3 (Black wire). If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Black wire. If resistance is less than 5 ohms replace right O2S.
