INSPECTION OF MAIN OXYGEN
SENSORS
1. WARM UP ENGINEAllow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
2. INSPECT FEEDBACK VOLTAGE Connect the positive (+) probe of a voltmeter to terminal VF1
(for No.1) or VF2 (for No.2) of the check (ºDIAGNOSISº) con-\
nector, and negative (±) probe to terminal E1. Perform the
test as follows described on the next page.
HINT: Use SST when connecting between terminals TE1 and
E1 of the check connector.

2. INSPECT EFI MAIN RELAY
A. Inspect relay continuity (a) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between terminals 1 and 3.
(b) Check that there is no continuity between terminals 2 and 4.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
B. Inspect relay operation (a) Apply battery voltage across terminals 1 and 3.
