OPERATION
The Oxygen (02) sensor is a device which pro-
duces an electrical voltage when exposed to the oxy-
gen present in the exhaust gases. The sensor is
mounted in the exhaust system, usually in the mani-
fold or a boss located on the down pipe before the
catalyst. The oxygen sensors used on some models
are electrically heated internally for faster switching
when the engine is started cold. The oxygen sensor
produces a voltage within 0 and 1 volt. When there is
a large amount of oxygen present (lean mixture), the
sensor produces a low voltage (less than 0.4~). When
there is a lesser amount present (rich mixture) it pro-
duces a higher voltage (0.6-I .Ov). The stoichiometric
or correct fuel to air ratio will read between 0.4 and
0.6~. By monitoring the oxygen content and convert-
ing it to electrical voltage, the sensor acts as a rich-
lean switch. The voltage is transmitted to the PCM.
Some models have two sensors, one before the
catalyst and one after. This is done for a catalyst eff i-
ciency monitor that is a part of the OBD-II engine
controls. The one before the catalyst measures the
exhaust emissions right out of the engine, and sends
the signal to the PCM about the state of the mixture
as previously talked about. The second sensor re-
ports the difference in the emissions after the exhaust
gases have gone through the catalyst. This sensor re-
ports to the PCM the amount of emissions reduction
the catalyst is performing.
The oxygen sensor will not work until a predeter-
mined temperature is reached, until this time the
PCM is running in what as known as OPEN LOOP
operation. OPEN LOOP means that the PCM has not
yet begun to correct the air-to-fuel ratio by reading the oxygen sensor. After the engine comes to operat-
ing temperature, the PCM will monitor the oxygen
sensor and correct the air/fuel ratio from the sensor’s
readings. This is what is known as CLOSED LOOP
operation.
A Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) has a heating el-
ement that keeps the sensor at proper operatmg tem-
perature during all operating modes. Maintaining
correct sensor temperature at all times allows the
system to enter into CLOSED LOOP operation
sooner.
In CLOSED LOOP operation, the PCM monitors
the sensor input (along with other inputs) and adjusts
the injector pulse width accordingly. During OPEN
LOOP operation, the PCM ignores the sensor input
and adjusts the injector pulse to a preprogrammed
value based on other inputs.
TESTING
# See Figure 37
93154p36 Fig. 37 The HD2S can be monitored with an
appropriate and Data-stream capable scan
tool
Do not pierce the wires when testing this
sensor; this can lead to wiring harness dam-
age. Backprobe the connector to properly
read the voltage of the HD2S.
1. Disconnect the H02S.
2. Measure the resistance between PWR and
GND terminals of the sensor. Resistance should be
approximately 6 ohms at 68°F (20°C) If resistance is
not within specification, the sensor’s heater element
is faulty.
3. With the H02S connected and engine running,
measure the voltage with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter
(DVOM) between terminals
HD2S and SIG RTN (GND) of the oxygen sensor connector. Voltage
should fluctuate between 0.01-l .O volts. If voltage
fluctuation is slow or voltage is not within specifica-
tion, the sensor may be faulty.

1. Remove the wheel cylinder from the vehicle
and place on a clean workbench.
2. First remove and discard the old rubber
boots, then withdraw the pistons. Piston cylinders are
equipped with seals and a spring assembly, all lo-
cated behind the pistons in the cylinder bore.
3. Remove the remaining inner components,
seals and spring assembly. Compressed air may be
useful in removing these components. If no com-
pressed air is available, be VERY careful not to score
the wheel cylinder bore when removing parts from it. Discard all components for which replacements were
supplied in the rebuild kit.
4. Wash the cylinder and metal parts in dena-
tured alcohol or clean brake fluid.
Never use a mineral-based solvent such as
gasoline, kerosene or paint thinner for clean-
ing purposes. These solvents will swell rub-
ber components and quickly deteriorate
them. 5. Allow the parts to air dry or use compressed
air. Do not use rags for cleaning, since lint will re-
main in the cylinder bore.

The G-sensors are used only on the AWD vehi-
cles. The rear is mounted in the trunk under the floor
mat while the front sensor is under the console as-
sembly. The sensor transmits acceleration and decel-
eration information to the anti-lock control unit. This
data is used in conjunction with individual wheel
speed and engine data, allowing the controller to de-
termine the approximate road friction. This friction
factor is then used to compute the proper control of
the solenoid valves.
