heating AUDI A8 1999 D2 / 1.G ATQ Engine Oxygen Sensor Control Checking

24-77
If voltage change does not occur or occurs only
slowly, the following malfunctions could be
present:

Slits or holes in sensor head clogged.
Sensors suffered thermal overload.
Transition resistance in signal wire or Ground
(GND) wire.
Sensor too cold, sensor heating not
functioning.
Sensor damaged by contact spray or similar
substance (contact spray is drawn through the
fine hollow interiors by thermal fluctuations and
capillary action into the electrical wiring in
sensor).
Sensor damaged by silicon vapors (the use of
sealants containing silicon leads to trace
elements of silicon being taken in by the
engine. These silicon elements are not
combusted and damage the oxygen sensor).

Notes:

The oxygen sensor control of the oxygen sensors behind catalytic converter (B1-S2 and B2-S2) are not active at certain
operation points without engine load, that means that the third position of the oxygen sensor controls behind catalytic
converter can fluctuate between 0 and 1.
The first position of the 3 digit indication (heating) fluctuates between 0 and 1 at certain operation points.

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
