Conditioning For Sensor Testing
Perform the operation with the engine speeds and time durations described below prior to checking the waveforms of the A/F and HO2 sensors. This is performed in order to heat the sensors sufficiently to obtain the appropriate inspection results.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 (Procedure "A").
- Start the engine and warm it up with all the accessories switched off, until the engine coolant temperature stabilizes (Procedure "B").
- Run the engine at an engine speed of between 2500 RPM and 3000 RPM for at least 3 minutes (Procedure "C").
- While running the engine at 3000 RPM for 2 seconds and 2000 RPM for 2 seconds, check the waveforms of the A/F and HO2 sensors using the Techstream or scan tool (Procedure "D").
NOTE:
The Air-Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor has an output delay of a few seconds and the Heated Oxygen (HO2) sensor has a maximum output delay of approximately 20 seconds.

- Following the Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor procedure enables technicians to check and graph the output voltages of both the A/F and HO2 sensors.
- To display the graph, enter the following menus on the Techstream: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume for A/F Sensor / AFS Voltage B1S1 or AFS Voltage B2S1 and O2S B1S2 or O2S B2S2 then press the graph button on the Data List view.
