O2S Test Result

  1. INTRODUCTION 
    1. The O2S TEST RESULT refers to the results of the engine control module (ECM) when it monitors the oxygen sensor (O2S), and it can be read using the intelligent tester or the generic OBD II scan tool. Based on this, you can find the O2S's conditions. The ECM monitors the O2S in the various items. You can read the monitor result (TEST DATA) of each monitor item using the O2S TEST RESULT. However, the output value of the TEST DATA is the latest "snapshot" value that is taken after monitoring and therefore it is not dynamic.

      In this repair manual, the description of the O2S TEST RESULT (for O2S related DTCs) are written in a table.

      This table consists of 5 items: 

      1. TEST ID (a code applied to each TEST DATA)
      2. Description of TEST DATA
      3. Conversion Factor (When Conversion Factor has a value written in the table, multiply the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool by the Conversion Factor value. The result will be the required value.)
      4. Unit
      5. Standard Value

      If the TEST DATA value appearing on the scan tool is out of the standard value, the O2S is malfunctioning. If it is within the standard value, the O2S is functioning normally. However, if the value is on the borderline of the standard value, the O2S may malfunction very soon.

  2. HOW TO READ O2S TEST RESULT USING INTELLIGENT TESTER 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. On the tester screen, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / CARB OBDII / O2S TEST RESULT. A list of the O2S equipped on the vehicle will be displayed.

    3. Select the desired O2S and press ENTER. The TEST DATA screen will appear.

    4. Press HELP and * simultaneously. More information will appear.
    5. Example:
      1. The intelligent tester displays "17" as a value of the "TIME $81" (see Fig 2) (step (1)).
      2. Find the Conversion Factor value of "TIME $81" in the O2S TEST RESULT chart below. 0.3906 is specified for $81 in this chart (step (2)).
      3. Multiply "17" in step (1) by 0.3906 (Conversion Factor) in the step (2).

        17 x 0.3906 = 6.6 %

      4. If the answer is within the standard value, the "TIME $81" can be confirmed to be normal.
