Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection

HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS INSPECTION
1. INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF MAIN HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS.

Heated Oxygen Sensors; Bank 1, Sensor 2:




- Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.



- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals +B and HT.

Resistance @ 20°C (68°F): 11 - 16 Ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.

Torque: 44 Nm (440 kgf.cm; 31 ft.lb)

- Reconnect the oxygen sensor connector.

2. INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF REAR HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR.

Heated Oxygen Sensor: Bank 1, Sensor 2:




- Remove the passenger's seat.
- Take out the console box side of the floor carpet.
- Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.



- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals +B and HT.

Resistance @ 20°C (68°F): 11 - 16 Ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.

Torque: 44 Nm (440 kgf.cm; 31 ft.lb)

- Reconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
- Reinstall the floor carpet.
- Reinstall the passenger's seat.
