Oxygen Sensor Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter G130, Checking

Oxygen Sensor behind Three Way Catalytic Converter G130, Checking

• Vehicle must be raised before the electrical connector for the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130) is accessible.

• When servicing terminals in the electrical harness connector of the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130), use only gold-plated terminals.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• Fuse (SB46) OK.

• The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay 2 (J670) OK.

• 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.

• Ignition switched off.

Test procedure

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

Function test

- Perform the function test in Diagnostic Mode 06 => [ Diagnostic Mode 06 - Read Test Results for Specific Diagnostic Functions ] Diagnostic Mode 06 - Read Test Results For Specific Diagnostic Functions.

If the specified values are not obtained:

Start diagnosis

- Raise the vehicle.

- Remove the right vehicle floor cover - arrows -.





Checking primary voltage

- Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130) electrical harness connector - arrow -.





- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130) electrical harness connector terminals 3 to 4 for voltage.





- Crank the engine.

Specified value: 0.4 to 0.5 V

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was obtained:

- Replace the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130).

If the specified value was not 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 Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing ] Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing.

- Using a Multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) (G130) 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.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring:

- 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 ] Readiness Code.

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing ] Motronic Engine Control Module J623, Replacing.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final Procedures

After the 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 ] Readiness Code.

End of diagnosis.
