Component Inspection

  1. Visually/physically inspect following items:
    • Inspect HO2S for silicon contamination from fuel or use of improper sealant. The HO2S may have a white powdery coating and this will result in a high but false voltage signal (rich exhaust indication).
    • Replace HO2S as necessary and go to next step.
