Checking oxygen sensor wires

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 4-pin harness connector -1- (brown) to Oxygen Sensor
(O2S) behind Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) -G130-.
- Connect VAG1598/31 test box at wiring harness to Engine Control
Module (ECM), do not connect ECM Page 24

- Repair open circuit if necessary.

- Check wires to each other for short circuit.
If wire connection is OK:

- Replace Engine Control Module (ECM) Page

- Start engine.


Specification: approx. battery voltage,
possibly fluctuating

Note:

At certain operating points, the ECM "pulses"
the Ground (GND) for oxygen sensor heating.
This means that the Ground (GND) is
constantly switched on and off at these points.
It is therefore possible that the voltage
displayed on the tester will fluctuate.
When the ECM switches oxygen sensor heating
on and off can be observed, if necessary, via
the function "read measuring value block"
display group number 041.
If there is no voltage:

- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as
follows:

- Check wire connection from terminal 1 of
connector to Fuel Pump (FP) relay via fuse for
open circuit:
