Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Climate Control Exhaust Gas Sensor: Testing and Inspection





AIR CONDITIONING: SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR: INSPECTION

1. INSPECT SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR

(a) HC, CO





(1) Apply battery voltage between terminals 3 (IG) and 6 (E).

(2) Allow exhaust gas (HC, CO) to travel to the sensing portion of the smog ventilation sensor, and measure the resistance between terminals 1 (SG) and 2 (DGS).

OK:

When the sensor is exposed to the exhaust gas, the resistance increases.

HINT
The resistance before blowing exhaust gas is 10 kOhms to 40 kOhms.

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the smog ventilation sensor.

(b) NOx





(1) Apply battery voltage between terminals 3 (IG) and 6 (E).

(2) Allow exhaust gas (NOx) to travel to the sensing portion of the smog ventilation sensor, and measure the resistance between terminals 1 (SG) and 4 (DGS1).

OK:

When the sensor is exposed to the exhaust gas, the resistance increases.

HINT
The resistance before blowing exhaust gas is 10 kOhms to 40 kOhms.

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the smog ventilation sensor.
