Function Test 

-- Connect the scan tool.

-- Start engine and let it run at idle.

-- Select Diagnostic mode 6.

-- Select "Test-ID 01: Heated Oxygen Sensor". Refer to test: Monitor-ID $02: Oxygen Sensor Monitor Bank 1- Sensor 2 .

-- Switch ignition Off.

If The Monitor Failed: 

Checking heater resistance

-- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- electrical harness connector -3- located on undercarriage left side frame rail.

-- Using a multimeter, measure the resistance from terminal 3 to terminal 4 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- connector.

Specified Value: 2 - 4 Ω With The Exhaust System At Room Temperature 

If The Specified Value Was Not Obtained: 

-- Replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130--.

If The Specified Value Was Obtained: 

Checking heater voltage

-- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- electrical harness connector.

-- Switch ignition On.

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 4 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- harness connector to ground.

Specification: Near Battery Voltage 

-- Switch ignition Off.

If Specified Value Is Not Obtained: 

-- Check for an open, short to ground or high resistance between terminal 4 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- and fuse 21 (2010 Models) or fuse 4 (2011 Models) in Fuse Box B. Refer to Appropriate Wiring Diagrams for fuse locations.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If The Specified Value Was Obtained: 

Checking HO2S voltage

-- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- electrical harness connector.

-- Switch ignition on.

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 3 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- harness connector to ground.

Specification: Near 4.76 V 

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 1 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- harness connector to ground.

Specification: Near 2.85 V 

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 5 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- harness connector to ground.

Specification: Near 2.85 V 

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 2 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- harness connector to ground.

Specification: Near 2.50 V 

-- Using a multimeter, measure the voltage from terminal 6 of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- harness connector to ground.

Specification: Near 2.93 V 

-- Switch ignition off.

If Any Of The Specified Values Were Not Obtained: 

Checking Wiring 

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for removal and installation procedures.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T94 for an open circuit. Refer to Appropriate Wiring Diagrams for pin locations.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) --G130-- electrical harness connector terminal	Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T94 terminal
Pin 1	80
Pin 2	59
Pin 3	51
Pin 5	58
Pin 6	81

Specified Resistance 1.5 Ω Max. 

If The Specification Is Not Obtained: 

-- Check the wiring for high resistance, an open or short circuit to Battery or ground.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If No Malfunctions Are Found In Wiring And The Voltage Was Not Ok: 

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-.

Final Procedures 

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
