Display on VAS5051:

Activate basic setting by pressing -A- button.
Check indication in display fields -1- to -4-.

NOTE:

By increasing the engine speed the specified values are achieved more quickly.
The "oxygen sensor status" indicates the condition of the oxygen sensor control and the oxygen sensors.

	X		Oxygen sensor condition: 0 = not active; 1 = active
		X	Oxygen sensor (O2S) control 0 = not active; 1 = active

NOTE:

The first digit of the relevant 3-digit display (heating) fluctuates between 0 and 1.
The oxygen sensor control for oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter (Bank 1, Sensor 2 and Bank 2, Sensor 2) is not active without engine load, i.e. the last digit of the 3-digit display is 0.

Continue test when displays have achieved "111" in display zones 1 and 3 and "110" in display zones 2 and 4.

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
