Fault handling:
(See “Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.)
Diagnostic help
Fault diagnosis concerns an electrical fault in connecting leads or in the sensor.
Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:
|
•
|
Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.
|
|
•
|
Oxygen Sensor Value, unit V.
|
See also the description of readings in ”Fault diagnosis, general” for more information.
|
Note
|
|
The oxygen sensor receives reference oxygen from the surrounding air via the connecting cables. For this reason, electrical contact spray or grease must
not
be used on the oxygen sensor connector.

Checking the wiring
Jiggle the wiring harness at several points and in different directions to detect intermittent breaks and short circuits. Observe the multimeter, diagnostic tool or test lamp during the check.
