Testing Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500, 2002 Mercedes-Benz S500, 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430, 2002 Mercedes-Benz E55, and 2002 Mercedes-Benz E430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
O2 Signal - Connect DVOM between ME-SFI control module connector "C" terminals No. 34 and 33 (socket box terminals No. 26 and 25). Start engine and idle. Allow engine to idle for at least 2 minutes after engine coolant temperature reaches more than 176°F (80°C). Voltage should fluctuate by more than 0.3 volts between -0.2 volts and one volt. If voltage is okay, test is complete. If voltage is not okay, possible causes are left O2 sensor (before TWC) heater failure, wiring harness failure or defective left O2 sensor (before TWC - G3/3). To check left O2 sensor (before TWC) heater failure, go to DTC P0155: O2 SENSOR HEATING OF LEFT O2 SENSOR UPSTREAM TWC (G3/3) .
