Note for display field 2:  
Calculated value from engine speed and engine load. 
Note for display fields 3 and 4:  
Period duration is the time between two oxygen sensor voltage jumps (e.g. rich - lean - rich) and is therefore a measurement 
of the aging condition of the oxygen sensor. If the specified time is exceeded, display field 4 will indicate = B1-S1 not OK.

Note for display field 3:  
Oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter is superior to oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter and is 
responsible for control correction. It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. toward rich or lean) due to the oxygen sensor 
before catalytic converter by holding oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter at its higher or lower point for a specific 
time (dwell time). If this time is in the positive range (i.e. 50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -enrich- direction. If this time is in the 
negative range (i.e. -50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -lean- direction.

Note:  
     If oxygen sensor voltage is OK and dwell time of 
oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter 
is still above 1200 ms, even after a road test, this 
suggests aging of the oxygen sensor before 
catalytic converter.

- Start engine. 
     
 
Specification: approx. battery voltage, 
possibly fluctuating 
     
Note:  
     
At certain operating points, the ECM "pulses" 
the Ground (GND) for oxygen sensor heating. 
This means that the Ground (GND) is 
constantly switched on and off at these points. 
It is therefore possible that the voltage 
displayed on the tester will fluctuate. 
     When the ECM switches oxygen sensor heating 
on and off can be observed, if necessary, via 
the function "read measuring value block" 
display group number 041. 
      If there is no voltage:  
     
-  Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as 
follows: 
     
Harness connector  
Terminal  
Measure to  
1 (B+)   Vehicle Ground (GND)
