If oxygen sensors have not yet reached their operating temperature, there will be no indication in display fields 1 and 3,
i.e. they will both be empty. (increase engine speed to obtain specified values).
After reaching operating temperature of the two oxygen sensors, a resistance of less than 0.9 kOhm must be indicated in
display fields 1 and 3.
Do not continue test until a resistance of less than 0.9 kOhm is indicated in display fields 1 and 3.
At certain points of operation, the ECM "pulses" oxygen sensor heating. This means that oxygen sensor heating is
switched on and off at these points. It is entirely possible that the specified value "Htng. bef. Cat. OFF" or "Htng. beh. Cat.
OFF" will appear in display fields 2 and 4

- Start engine.


Specification: approx. battery voltage,
possibly fluctuating

Notes:

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.
It is possible to observe the ECM switching
oxygen sensor heating on and off within the
function "read measuring value block", display
group numbers 041 and 042.
If there is no voltage:

- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:Harness connector
Terminal
Measure to
1 (B+) Vehicle Ground (GND)
- Operate starter briefly.

- Check wire connection from terminal 1 to Fuel
Pump (FP) relay via fuse for open circuit.
