Diagnostic Procedures

Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 2 Sensor 2, Checking

When servicing terminals in harness connector of HO2S Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2 (G130) or HO2S Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2 (G131) use only gold-plated terminals.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

multimeter.

Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

The HO2S Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2 (G130) and HO2S Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2 (G131) fuse OK.

Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.

All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.

Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position " P" or "N".

A/C switched off.

Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.

Ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Observe safety precautions. Refer to => [ Safety Precautions ] Safety Precautions

- Observe Clean Working Conditions. Refer to => [ Clean Working Conditions ] Clean Working Conditions

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Start diagnosis

Checking internal resistance

- Disconnect the HO2S Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2 (G131) electrical harness connector - 3 -.





- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 2 Sensor 2 (Z30) terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.





Specified value: 1.0 to 20.0 ohms (at approx. 20° C)

If the specification was not obtained:

- Replace the faulty HO2S Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 Sensor 2 (G131). Refer to the Repair Information.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking voltage supply

Start the engine.

- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 2 Sensor 2 (Z30)electrical harness connector terminal 1 to ground for voltage.

Specified value: 10.10 to 11.70 V

Switch the ignition off.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for high resistance, a short circuit to ground or an open circuit.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking Ground activation

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 2 Sensor 2 (Z30) electrical harness connector to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T94 for an open circuit.









Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for high resistance, an open or a short to voltage or ground.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

If the DTC does return, no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply is OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.
