If specified value in display group 037 and
038 display field 3 or 4 is not obtained:

- Search for leaking air at exhaust system or
catalytic converter (check screw clamps and
exhaust system for damage).

- Check if possibly the oxygen sensors behind
catalytic converter of cylinder bank 1 and 2 have
been switched, in case of extremely different
values (e.g. +500 ms, - 500 ms) of display fields
3 (oxygen sensor correction value) in the
measuring value blocks 037 and 038.
If none of the listed causes applies:

- Replace respective oxygen sensor -before-
catalytic converter

- Disconnect 4-pin harness connector leading to
respective oxygen sensor.

If specified value is not obtained:
If specified value is obtained: - Connect multimeter between terminal 3 and 4 for voltage
measurement.
- Switch ignition on.

Specification: 0.400 to 0.500 V
- Switch ignition off.
- Check oxygen sensor wires Bank 1 page Page 24
