For the accomplishment of this test, during all its running period, UCE injection is inhibiting the
co ntrol function of the canister purging valve. UCE injection will issue the recommendation
” O xyg en sensors diagnostic taken into consideration”.
ATTENTION: after performing this test, t he contact settin g on is imposed (key in M
position) before reading the res ults by means of the C LIP tester. Any contact sett ing off
be fore reading the test results, will lead to their wrong interpretation.
If after test performing, the CLIP tester is noticing a failure of the oxygen sensor, refer to
the diagnostic method related to this symptom.
RE PARATION PE RFORM ING CONFIR M ATION
Check by means of the CLIP tester, the bellow states, which must have the following configu-
ration:
- ET102: Sensors diagnostic taken into consideration ------------------------ AC TIVE
- ET1 06: Sensors diagnostic performed --------------------------------------- AC TIVE
-no cata lyst failure is detected by the CLIP tester and the OBD indicator is off.(mbar) .
