1998 AUDI A8 sensor

24-122

- Start engine.


Specification: approx. battery voltage,
possibly fluctuating

Notes:

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.
It is possible to observe the ECM switching
oxygen sensor heating on and off within the
function "read measuring value block", display
group numbers 041 and 042.
If there is no voltage:

- Connect multimeter for voltage measurement as follows:Harness connector
Terminal
Measure to
1 (B+) Vehicle Ground (GND)
- Operate starter briefly.

If there is no voltage again:

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

Installing
Note the following when installing:

Notes:

Oxygen sensor threads are coated with an
assembly paste. This paste must not contact
sensor openings.
Cable ties must always be installed again in
exactly the same place to prevent the sensor
wire from contacting the exhaust pipe.
Tightening torque: 55 Nm
