Engine Controls - Sensor Range Charts: Introduction

NOTE: For sensor operating range charts on Passport, refer to Rodeo in Isuzu SENSOR OPERATING RANGE CHARTS article.

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 testing procedures, preform all voltage tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance. Carefully backprobe PCM harness connector using Backprobe Set (07SAZ-001000A) to avoid connector damage. Voltage readings may vary slightly due to battery condition or charging rate.
