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
