Oxygen sensor control can basically be evaluated both in "Basic Setting" function 04 as well as in "Read Measuring Value
Block" function 08 only after successful learning ( learning requirement display). Oxygen sensor control shows momentary control status. After successful learning, ( learning requirement display),
values vary around 0.0 6.0%. If the learning process (display field 4) is ended and no value around 0.0 6.0% is
obtained, observe display group 010, display fields 3 and/or 4 and check control behavior of the two heated oxygen
sensors. During this process, the display values must at times drop below 0.3 V and exceed 0.6 V, otherwise check
oxygen sensor heating and the heated oxygen sensor.

1 = A/C compressor off/on (0 = off; 1 = on)
Notes:
On vehicles without A/C "0" is always displayed.

.
The A/C compressor is shut off for approx. 12 sec. by -J192- when accelerating from a stop and from low speed.
If the gas pedal is released sooner, the time is reduced to a minimum of 3 sec. At wide open throttle, the A/C
compressor is switched off by the automatic transmission (kick-down switch).
2 = Rear window heating - Signal (0 = off; 1 = on)
Notes:
The rear window heating signal is only displayed on vehicles without A/C.
On vehicles with A/C "0" is always displayed.
Check rear window heater signal page 24

Notes on display field 4:
If the A/C compressor is off display field 3; display field 4 can be used to recognize whether the compressor was
switched off by the engine control module. Meaning of the 1-digit display:

If the trip status display is set to "1" when the readiness code is regenerated, but the corresponding display value of the
readiness code is not set to "0", the diagnosis was carried out but recognized as not OK by the engine control module. In this
case, the DTC memory should be checked to determine malfunctions and/or to carry out a selective diagnosis:
For three way catalytic converter diagnosis (Bank 1 and 2) also check display groups 035, 036 and 044.
For the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system leak diagnosis, also check display group 030.
For the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) system throughput and leak diagnosis, also check display groups 020 and 021.
For oxygen sensor diagnosis, also check display groups 032, 033, 034, 041, 042 and 043.
For oxygen sensor heating diagnosis, also check display group 040.
For the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system throughput diagnosis, also check display group 017.

Notes on display field 1:
All readiness code values are set to "1" by disconnecting the ECM harness connector and/or disconnecting the battery,
and every time DTC memory is erased (both with address word 01 function 05 and with address word 33 mode 4).
To regenerate the readiness code, take a drive of approx. 1-1/2 to 5 minutes at 80-100 km/h (50-63 mph) with manual
transmission in 4th or 5th gear, or automatic transmission selector lever in "D" position, preferably in 4th gear ("mixed city
and highway" trip).

relay, i.e. immediately at engine start.
The heating of the heated oxygen sensors behind the three way catalytic converter is not switched on immediately at
engine start, but only when the calculated exhaust gas temperature in the three way catalytic converter exceeds 308 C
(586 F) display group 044, display field 2. In order to reach an exhaust gas temperature of 308 C (586 F) in the three
way catalytic converter after a cold start, the car must be driven about 20 sec. with an increased engine speed of 2500
RPM.

The voltage signals of bank 1 heated oxygen sensor 2 and/or bank 2 heated oxygen sensor 2 should not be evaluated
until at least 50 sec. after the oxygen sensor heating is switched on display group 040. With cold engine and ignition on, a voltage signal of 0.400 volts is displayed in all four display fields. With very hot engine
and ignition on, a signal of 0.000 volts is displayed in display field 3 and 4.
The voltage signal of the heated oxygen sensors behind the three way catalytic converter must lie between about 0.5 volts
and 0.6 volts with a three way catalytic converter with sufficient effect (conversion). During deceleration fuel shut off, the
voltage signal must be less than 0.1 volts constantly. During operation with wide open throttle enrichment, the voltage
signal must be greater than 0.6 volts.
If there is wide open throttle (signal voltage during wide open throttle enrichment greater than 0.6 volts) with a new three
