Engine Controls - Sensor Operating Range Charts - 2.2L: Introduction

Sensor operating range information can help determine if a sensor is out of calibration. Although an out-of-calibration sensor may not set a trouble code, it may cause driveability problems.

NOTE: Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance.
