Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection


HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS INSPECTION

1. Inspect heater resistance of heated oxygen sensors.
(Bank 1 Sensor 1, Bank 2 Sensor 1)
(a) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.

Bank 1 Sensor 1:




Bank 2 Sensor 1:





(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals +B and HT

Resistance: 11 -16 ohm at 20°C(68°F)

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

Torque: 44 N.m (440 kgf.cm, 31 ft.lbf)

(c) Reconnect the oxygen sensor connector.

2. Inspect heater resistance of heated oxygen sensor.
(Bank 1 Sensor 2)
(a) Remove the driver's seat.
(b) Take out the floor carpet.
(c) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.





(d) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals +B and HT.

Resistance: 11 - 16 ohm at 20°C (68°F)

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

Torque: 44 N.m (440 kgf.cm, 31 ft.lbf)

(e) Reconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
(f) Reinstall the floor carpet.
(g) Reinstall the driver's seat.
