Sebring V6-2.5L VIN N (1997)
Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Upstream Sensor
Heated Oxygen Sensor Check
1. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
2. Check that there is continuity between terminal 3 and terminal 4 on the heated oxygen sensor connector.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
4. Warm up the engine until engine coolant is 80°C (176°F) or higher.
5. Use the jumper wires to connect terminal 4 of the heated oxygen sensor connector to the battery (+) terminal and terminal 3 to the battery (-)
terminal.
CAUTION: Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires, or the heated oxygen sensor can be damaged.
6. Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal 1 and terminal 2.
7. While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the heated oxygen sensor output voltage.
Standard value: When racing engine voltage should be: 0.6-1.0 V
-
If you make the air/fuel ratio rich by racing the engine repeatedly, a normal heated oxygen sensor will output a voltage of 0.6-1.0 V.
8. If the sensor is defective, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
