Continuation
If specified value in display field 1 is not obtained
or if value does not fluctuate at least 2 %:

- Road test vehicle in order to free oxygen sensor
of possible residue and repeat test.
If specified value in display field 1 is not obtained
even after road test or if value does not fluctuate
at least 2 %:

- Check primary voltage Page 24

Checking primary voltage

Note:
Coolant reservoir screws must be removed and coolant reservoir must be
placed to side in order to access the harness connector. The coolant
hoses can remain connected. - Disconnect 6-pin harness connector (black) -2- to Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO2S) -G39- before catalytic converter.

- Connect multimeter between terminal 1 and 5 for voltage
measurement.
- Switch ignition on.

Specification: 0.400 to 0.500 V
- Switch ignition off.
