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.

Continuation  
      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-. 
     
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.

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 4-pin harness connector -1- (brown) to Oxygen Sensor 
(O2S) behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) -G130-. 
    
If specified value is not obtained:  
If specified value is obtained:  -  Connect multimeter between terminal 3 and 4 for voltage 
measurement. 
-  Switch ignition on.
 
Specification: 0.400 to 0.500 V
-  Switch ignition off.
-  Check oxygen sensor wiring.
-  Replace Oxygen Sensor (O2S) behind Three Way Catalytic Converter 
(TWC) -G130-.
