Oxygen Sensor Before Catalytic Converter, Checking Function

Oxygen Sensor Heater before Catalytic Converter, Checking

Oxygen Sensor Heater 1

• When servicing electrical harness connector terminals for the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39), use only gold-plated terminals.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• Fuse (SC6) 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 (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.

• Ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Start diagnosis

- Remove the rear engine cover - arrows -.





- Remove the vacuum lines - 3 - and - 4 - from the air guide hose.

- Disconnect the Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor (G70) electrical harness connector - 1 -.

- Loosen the hose clamps - 2 - and - 5 - and remove the air guide hose.





- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39) electrical harness connector - 1 -.





Checking internal resistance

- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39) terminals 3 to 4 for resistance.





Specified value: 2.5 to 10.0 ohms (at approx. 20 °C)

If the specification was not obtained:

- Replace Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39).

If the specification was obtained:

Checking voltage supply

Crank the engine.

- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39) electrical harness connector terminal 4 to Ground (GND) for voltage.









Specified value: Battery voltage.

Switch the ignition off.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

- Check the wiring from the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39) electrical harness connector terminal 4 to the Engine Component Power Supply Relay (J757) socket 2/87 for a short circuit to each other, Ground (GND), or an open circuit.

- 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 => [ Engine Control Module, Removing and Installing ] Service and Repair.

- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G39) electrical harness connector to the Motronic 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 a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), Ground (GND) or an open circuit.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module, Removing and Installing ] Service and Repair.

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

- End of diagnosis.
