Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 1 Sensor 2, Checking
Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 1 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) 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 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 1 Sensor 2 (G130) electrical harness connector - 1 -.
- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 1 Sensor 2 (Z29) 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 1 Sensor 2 (G130). Refer to the repair information.
If the specification was obtained:
Checking voltage supply
Switch the ignition on.
- Using a multimeter, check the Oxygen Sensor Heater Bank 1 Sensor 2 (Z29) 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 from fuse 45 in Fuse Panel B to the O2S heater terminal 1 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 (GND) 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 1 Sensor 2 (Z29) 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:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
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). 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 ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
