  4. Reconnect O2 sensor. Start engine. Using scan tool, access PID/DATA MONITOR. Monitor RHO2S. Depress accelerator pedal to WOT and release to race engine. Repeat 10 times. Scan tool should display rear O2 sensor voltage greater than .45 volt during rich condition and less than .45 volt during lean condition. If voltage is as specified, go to next step. If voltage is more than .45 volt at all times, replace rear O2 sensor and go to next step.
