Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.

For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.

Oxygen Sensor (O2S) 2 Heater (Z28) is part of Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) and cannot be replaced separately.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• Fuse (SB10) OK.

• Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) 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 engine cover with air filter.

Checking internal resistance

- Disconnect the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) electrical harness connector - 2 -.





- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) terminals 3 to 5 for resistance.

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

If the specification was not obtained:

- Replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking voltage supply

- Crank the engine (engine may run).

- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) electrical harness connector terminal 5 to Ground (GND) for voltage.










Specified value: Battery voltage.

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) electrical harness connector terminal 5 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) socket 8 for a open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).

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

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If the specification was not 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 Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

- Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) (G108) electrical harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T94 terminal 51 for resistance.










Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).

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

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

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

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the appropriate service manual.

Final procedures

After the 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 ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

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

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code
