MX-5 Miata L4-1.8L DOHC (1996)
Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection
HO2S Inspection Procedures
SENSOR INSPECTION
-
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
-
Connect the SSTs (Engine Signal Monitor) to the ECM.
-
Measure the ECM terminal 3C and 3D voltages.
-
If not as specified, inspect the following:
-
Harness and connector between heated oxygen sensor and ECM.
-
On-board diagnostic system
-
Intake manifold vacuum
-
Fuel line pressure
-
If all the systems are OK, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
USING THE NGS
-
Connect the SSTs (NGS) to the data link connector-2.
-
Select the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD function of the NGS.
-
Select "FHO2S", "RHO2S" on the NGS display. The NGS measures and shows the voltage.
-
If not as specified, inspect the following:
-
Harness and connector between heated oxygen sensor and ECM.
-
On-board diagnostic system
-
Intake manifold vacuum
-
Fuel line pressure
-
If all the systems are OK, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
HEATER
-
Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
-
Measure the resistance between heated oxygen sensor terminals D and C by using an ohmmeter.
