2. Check continuity between terminals (2) and (1), (3) and (2).

Continuity should not exist

3. If NG, replace the front heated oxygen sensor.



Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater




1. Check resistance between terminals (1) and (4).

Resistance: 2.3 - 4.3 Ohms [at 25°C (77°F)]

2. Check continuity.

Terminal No. / Continuity
(2) and (1), (3), (4) / No
(3) and (1), (2), (4) / No


3. If NG, replace the rear heated oxygen sensor.
