Note for display field 3:
The oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter overrules the oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter. It
corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. toward rich or lean) due to the oxygen sensor before catalytic converter by holding
oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter at its higher or lower point for a specific time (dwell time). If this time is in the
positive range (i.e. 50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -enrich- direction. If this time is in the negative range (i.e. -50 ms), mixture

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-

If oxygen sensors have not yet reached their operating temperature, there will be no indication in display fields 1 and 3,
i.e. they will both be empty. (increase engine speed to obtain specified values).
After reaching operating temperature of the two oxygen sensors, a resistance of less than 0.9 kOhm must be indicated in
display fields 1 and 3.
Do not continue test until a resistance of less than 0.9 kOhm is indicated in display fields 1 and 3.
At certain points of operation, the ECM "pulses" oxygen sensor heating. This means that oxygen sensor heating is
switched on and off at these points. It is entirely possible that the specified value "Htng. bef. Cat. OFF" or "Htng. beh. Cat.
OFF" will appear in display fields 2 and 4
