Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF HEATED OXYGEN SENSORS (BANK 1, 2 SENSOR 1 AND BANK 1 SENSOR 2)

a. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connectors.







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

Resistance:
20 °C (68 °F) 11 - 16 Ohms
800 °C (1,472 °F) 23 - 32 Ohms


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

Torque: 45 Nm (450 kg.cm, 33 ft.lb)

c. Reconnect the oxygen sensor connectors.

2. INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (BANK 2 SENSOR 2)
a. Remove the transmission shift lever knob.
b. Remove the cup holder.
c. Remove the upper rear console panel.
