Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
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!

Mode 5


Mode 5

In Mode 5, the values of the last oxygen sensor test carried out (test identification TID) can be read out for every oxygen sensor with its nominal values.







For the oxygen sensors ahead of the TWC (bank 1/2, sensor 1), the following TIDs are supported:

$01 Rich-lean threshold voltage
Programmed fixed value. e.g. 0.430 V

$02 Lean-rich threshold voltage
Programmed fixed value. e.g. 0.430 V

$07 Minimum voltage of oxygen sensor during the test
Minimum: e.g. 0.025 V
Maximum: e.g. 0.385 V
Test value: e.g. 0.280 V

The specified range within which the voltage must lie and the actual value are displayed.

$08 Maximum voltage of oxygen sensor during the test
Minimum: e.g. 0.475 V
Maximum: e.g. 0.790 V
Test value: e.g. 0.685 V

The specified range within which the voltage must lie and the actual value are displayed.

$09 Time between two transitions
Minimum: e.g. 0.00 s
Maximum: e.g. 1.20 s
Test value: e.g. 0.36 s

The specified range within which the time must lie and the actual value are displayed.







$30 Shift in oxygen sensor characteristic towards rich
Minimum: e.g. 0.00 s
Maximum: e.g. 1.20 s
Test value: e.g. 0.10 s

The specified range within which the time must lie and the actual value are displayed.

$31 Shift in oxygen sensor characteristic towards lean
Minimum: e.g. 0.00 s
Maximum: e.g. 1.20 s
Test value: e.g. 0.10 s

The specified range within which the time must lie and the actual value are displayed.

$32 Averaged period
Minimum: e.g. 0.32 s
Maximum: e.g. 0.40 s
Test value: e.g. 0.36 s

The specified range within which the time must lie and the actual value are displayed.

NOTE: For the oxygen sensors after the TWC (bank 1/2, sensor 2), only the TIDs $01 to $08 are supported.
