HO2S Inspection

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Switch the ignition ON (engine on).
  3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  4. Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
    • VSS (Vehicle speed)
    • RPM (Engine speed)
    • O2S12 (HO2S output voltage)
  5. Drive the vehicle and decelerate the engine speed by releasing the accelerator pedal fully when the engine speed is 3, 000 rpm or more  .
  6. Verify that the HO2S output voltage (PID: O2S12) changes as shown in the figure during deceleration. (It outputs 0.6 V or more  once, then 0.3 V or less  .)
