Component Inspection

■ Check Resistance 

1. IG KEY "OFF".
2. Disconnect HO2S (S1) connector.
3. Measure resistance between heater power and heater control terminal of HO2S (S1) (Component Side)

   Specification: 

   Item	Specification
   Heater Resistance (Ω)	Approx. 3.2Ω ± 0.8Ω at 20°C (68°F)

4. Is the measured resistance within specification?

   YES 

   • Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness (es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage. So, check poor connections and the related circuit between ECM and component thoroughly. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

   NO 

   • Substitute with a known - good HO2S (S1) and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace HO2S (S1) and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
