SENSOR ELECTRICAL TESTS:
- Disconnect harness connector for Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) signal wire.
- Connect multimeter(Fluke 83 or equivalent) between oxygen sensor signal wire and GND.
^ Specified value: infinite ohms (no continuity).
If NO:
- Replace HO2S.
If YES:
- Switch multimeter to 0-2 volts measuring range and connect between signal wire connector (to ECM) and GND.
- Switch ignition ON.
^ Specified value: 400 +/- 50 mV.
If YES:
- Check wiring to ECM.
WIRING CHECKS:
- Switch ignition OFF.
- Connect VAG 1598 test box to ECM wiring harness using VAG 1598/11 adapter harness.
- Adapter harness for ECM is not connected.
