 Notes on display groups 005 and 006:  
If there are differences in oxygen sensor learning values (  display group 010, display fields 1 and 2 ) of more than 8% 
between display group 005 (bank 1) and display group 006 (bank 2), the following malfunctions are possible: 
 Spark plugs faulty 
 Fuel injectors faulty (leaking, plugged)
 Intake air leak on one side 
 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) faulty, dirty
 Mechanical engine basic settings (valve/camshaft timing) not OK
If a difference of 9% is reached between the richest and leanest oxygen sensor learning value of one display group, further 
learning will be discontinued in the two affected learning ranges (  display group 007 and/or 008). Learning requirements 
display (  display groups 007 and/or 008) of these learning ranges cannot be 1. 
If there is no power to the engine control module, all values are set back to 0.0%.

 Oxygen sensor control can basically be evaluated both in "Basic Setting" function 04 as well as in "Read Measuring Value 
Block" function 08 only after successful learning (  learning requirement display).  Oxygen sensor control shows momentary control status. After successful learning, (  learning requirement display), 
values vary around 0.0   6.0%. If the learning process (display field 4) is ended and no value around 0.0   6.0% is 
obtained, observe display group 010, display fields 3 and/or 4 and check control behavior of the two heated oxygen 
sensors. During this process, the display values must at times drop below 0.3 V and exceed 0.6 V, otherwise check 
oxygen sensor heating and the heated oxygen sensor.

 Notes on display field 1 (cont'd):  
The oxygen sensor control stop evaluation is also done by the diagnosis only after successful learning   learning 
requirement display: 
 Control stop max.: + 32% 
 Control stop min.: - 87.5% 
With values of more than   20% in "Basic Setting" function 04, the following malfunctions are possible:   Intake air leaks 
 Engine damage (oil burning with faulty piston)
Notes on display field 2:  
In display field 2 (learning range display), the momentary learning range (load status) is displayed. Only idle and partial 
throttle learning ranges are displayed since, at wide open throttle, no learning takes place. 
In order to reach the corresponding learning range (load status): 
 Idle: the vehicle should be allowed to run at idle (650-900 RPM)
 Partial throttle 1, 2 or 3: during test drive (with second person), increase engine speed to 1500-3000 RPM and generate 
load by lightly operating the brake

 Notes on display field 3  
 
The oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis shows what oxygen sensor learning value was checked in the learning 
process. 
 If diagnosis is successful, the corresponding value is set to "1", independently of whether the diagnosis was recognized as 
OK or not OK. 
 If an "oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis" value is set to "1" in display field 3, but the corresponding value of 
the "oxygen sensor learning requirement display" is not set to "1" in display field 4, the diagnosis was carried out but not 
recognized as OK by the Engine Control Module (ECM). The " oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis" is now 
continued. 
 The oxygen sensor learning requirement diagnosis is reset to "0" every time there is a start with a coolant temperature 
less than 40 C (104 F).

 Notes on display field 4  
Display field 4 (learning requirement display) shows the learning range (display field 2) for which learning is required. 
Requirement for learning:  
 
No malfunction stored in DTC memory 
 Engine speed at idle 650-900 RPM and/or 1500-3000 RPM 
 Coolant temperature 80-110 C (176-230 F) (if learning does not start immediately after this requirement, step on the 
throttle). 
Learning is prohibited: 
 
With uneven idle (hunting), during acceleration, at wide open throttle 
 If malfunctions are stored in the DTC memory (not with sporadic malfunctions) 
 If differences of 9% are obtained between the richest and leanest oxygen sensor learning value of one display group. If a 
9% difference is obtained, continued learning of the learning range involved is discontinued. The learning requirement 
display of this learning range can not be 1   display groups 005 and/or 006. 
Learning starts 20 sec. after initiation of "Basic Setting" function 04 and/or 2 to 4 min. after each start at a which the coolant 
temperature is less than 40 C (104 F). The following listing shows when the request for new learning (learning requirement) is forced:
