1. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor connector and connect the special tool (test harness) to the connector on the heated oxygen sensor side.




2. Make sure that there is continuity [Approx. 20 Ohms at 20°C (68°F)] between terminals 2 (red clip of the special tool) and terminal 4 (blue clip) on the heated oxygen sensor connector.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
4. Warm up the engine until the engine coolant is 80°C (176°F) or higher.




5. Use jumper wires to connect heated oxygen sensor terminal 2 (connect to (+) terminal) and terminal 4 (connect to (-) terminal) with the battery (+) terminal and (-) terminal.

CAUTION: Be very careful when connecting the jumper wires; incorrect connection can damage the heated oxygen sensor.

6. Connect a digital voltmeter between terminal 1 (black clip) and terminal 3 (white clip).
7. While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the heated oxygen sensor output voltage.




8. If the sensor does not generate 0.6 - 1.0 V, replace the heated oxygen sensor.
