Oxygen Sensor Connectors 20v

-

Fold back rubber boot at oxygen sensor lead 1, do not separate connectors.

-

Connect Digital Volt Ohm Multimeter (DVOM) between exposed sensor lead and ground.
^

DVOM should oscillate between 0.1 and 0.9 Volts

-

If reading is fixed at 0.4 - 0.6 Volts, check for open circuit between sensor and ECM.

-

If reading is too low, check for grounded signal wire, intake leak, or heater element operation.

-

If reading is too high, check for signal lead short to other wiring.
