If specified value is not obtained:
If specified value is obtained:
Checking oxygen sensor wires - 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 Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -G39-.

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 -2- (black) to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO2S) -G39- before catalytic converter.

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.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) and
oxygen sensor control after Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), checking


Note:
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. enrichment) via 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 it is in the negative range (e.g. -50 ms), mixture
will be shifted in the -lean- direction.
