Heated Oxygen Sensor 2, Checking

Heated Oxygen Sensor 2, Checking

The following procedure is used to diagnose the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 (G108)

• Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing terminals in the electrical harness connectors of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 (G108).

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• The Oxygen Sensor (O2S) 2 Heater (Z28) fuses OK.





• The Oxygen Sensor (O2S) 2 Heater (Z28) before catalytic converter OK. Refer to--> [ Oxygen Sensor O2S 2 Heater, Checking ] Oxygen Sensor O2S 2 Heater, Checking.

• Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.

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

• A/C switched off.

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

• Exhaust system between catalytic converter and cylinder head properly sealed.

• Coolant Temperature at least 80° C.

Test procedure

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

Start diagnosis

Function test

- Connect scan tool.

- Start the engine and let it run at idle.

- Select "Diagnostic mode 6: Check test results of components that are not continuously monitored".

- Select "Test-ID 01: Oxygen sensor monitoring before catalytic converter".

- Select "Test-ID 131: Dynamic test".

- Check the specified values at idle.





If specified values are obtained:

- End diagnosis and switch the ignition off.

If the specified values are not obtained:

Checking primary voltage

- Disconnect the electrical harness connector of the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 (G108) - 4 -.





- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) electrical harness connector - 4 - terminals 1 to 5 for voltage.





Specified value: 0.400 to 0.500 Volts

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 (G108).

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring

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 Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).

- Using a Multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) 2 (G108) electrical harness connector terminals to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T94 terminals for an open circuit.









Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

- 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 Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to --> [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

- End diagnosis.

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

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

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

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

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

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to --> [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

- End of diagnosis.
