Note for display field 3:
Oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter is superior to oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter and is
responsible for control correction. 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 is shifted in the -lean- direction.

Continuation
If specified value in display field 3 and 4 is not
obtained:

- Road test vehicle in order to free oxygen sensor
of possible residue and repeat test.
If specified value in display field 3 and 4 is not
obtained, even after road test:

- Replace Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) -
G39-.

Note:
If oxygen sensor voltage is OK and dwell time of
oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter
is still above 1200 ms, even after a road test, this
suggests aging of the oxygen sensor before
catalytic converter.

- 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:

Harness connector
Terminal
Measure to
1 (B+) Vehicle Ground (GND)
