Sensor Wire Detail

A
A Keep a minimum of 25 mm (1.0 in.) radius at
grommet.
NOTE: Always route harness away from hot exhaust
and away from moving parts.
NOTE: Do not attempt to clean sensor. Replace as
needed.
1. Look for a damaged or disconnected sensor-to-
engine harness connection.
2. Look for damage to sensor lead wire or associated
engine wiring due to cutting, chaffi ng or melting on a
hot surface.
3. Disconnect sensor connector and look for corrosion
in connector.
4. Try reconnecting sensor and observe if problem has
cleared.
5. Correct any problems found during visual check.
6. Inspect for any exhaust system leaks upstream or
downstream of oxygen sensor. Confi rm oxygen
sensor is secured to 50.1 N·m (37 ft. lb.).
All leaks must be repaired and an ECU/TPS reset
must be performed before proceeding with sensor
testing.
7. Using diagnostic software, document any trouble
codes. Determine if historic trouble codes are
logically related to current fault experienced. If
uncertain, clear codes and retest.

Sensor Signal Observation

Engine Harness O2 Sensor Connector Plug Detail

A Red w/Black Stripe

NOTE: Do not cut into or pierce sensor or engine
wiring to make this connection. Sensor
produces a very small signal. Corrosion or
damage to wiring could lead to an incorrect
signal because of repairs or contamination to
sensor.
1. With sensor connected and using diagnostic
software, start engine to observe O2 sensor activity.
Run engine at suffi cient speed to bring sensor and
engine up to operating temperature (engine
temperature of 150°F (66°C) or more displayed by
diagnostic software).
Maintained throttle openings of less than 20%
typically display closed loop operation where sensor
output voltage should cycle between 0.05 to 0.95
Volts.
Maintained throttle openings of 30-40% and above
typically display open loop operation where sensor
should have above 0.500 Volt. Occasional spikes
outside these values is normal. Lack of continuous
fl uctuation is not an indication of a defective sensor.
2. With key ON and engine OFF, sensor connected,
using diagnostic software, O2 volts displayed should
be more than 1.0 volt. This voltage is generated by
ECU. If not present, there may be a power and/or
ground supply fault to engine harness or ECU, a
fault of engine harness itself (refer to Visual
Inspection), or a fault of ECU.
With key ON and sensor unplugged, using a digital
voltmeter, observe voltage between Pin socket C
and Pin socket D of engine wiring harness (refer to
engine harness connector plug detail at top of page).
Voltage should read approximately 5.0 volts.
3. Using a digital voltmeter, observe system sensor
voltage between Pin socket A and negative (-)
battery ground. Battery voltage should be seen. If
battery voltage is not seen, inspect engine wiring,
fuses, and/or electrical connections.
