Checking primary voltage  
    
Note:  
Coolant reservoir screws must be removed and coolant reservoir must be 
placed to side in order to access the harness connector. The coolant 
hoses can remain connected.  -  Disconnect 6-pin harness connector (black) -2- to Heated Oxygen 
Sensor (HO2S) -G39- before catalytic converter. 
    
-  Connect multimeter between terminal 1 and 5 for voltage 
measurement. 
-  Switch ignition on.
 
Specification: 0.400 to 0.500 V
-  Switch ignition off.

Note for display field 2:  
Calculated value from engine speed and engine load. 
Note for display fields 3 and 4:  
The dynamic factor is a characteristic for oxygen sensor aging. The smaller the dynamic factor, the further the oxygen sensor 
aging process has advanced.

      If specified value in display field 3 and 4 is not 
obtained:  
     
-  Road test vehicle in order to free oxygen sensor 
of possible residue and repeat test. 
      If specified value in display field 3 and 4 is not 
obtained, even after road test:  
     
-  Replace Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)-G39-
