Oxygen (O2) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1992 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, 1992 Cadillac Fleetwood, 1992 Cadillac DeVille, and 1992 Buick Park Avenue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Start engine and warm to operating temperature. Disconnect 6oxygen 11sensor. Connect a DVOM between lead of oxygen sensor and ground. Place meter on the 2-volt scale. Voltmeter reading should increase to greater than .8 volt.
  2. Using another DVOM on the 20-volt scale. Connect voltmeter in series between the O2 wire from the ECM and the positive post of battery. Reading on voltmeter connected to oxygen sensor should decrease to a low voltage (less than .3 volt).
  3. If a second DVOM is not available, install short jumper in O2 wire from the ECM. Hold jumper in one hand and touch positive post of battery with other hand. This should cause oxygen sensor to produce less than .3 volt. For additional testing procedures, see appropriate TESTS W/CODES article in this section.
