Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS

Heated Oxygen Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1, Bank 2 Sensor 1)



- Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.



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

Resistance: At 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.


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: At 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.
