- Accent, Elantra, Santa Fe 2.4L and 3.5L, Sonata 2.4L, Tiburon, and XG350 engines use Zirconium type HO2Ss that output 0-1 volt signal. Zero volts is lean and one volt is rich. Santa Fe 2.7L and Sonata 2.7L engines use HO2Ss that output 0-5 volt signal. Zero volts is rich and 5 volts is lean.
- To test HO2S on Accent, Elantra, Santa Fe 2.4L and 3.5L, Tiburon, and XG350, warm up engine. Backprobe between HO2S connector terminals No. 1 and 2. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL. When suddenly decelerating from 4000 RPM, voltage should be 0.2 volt or less. When engine is suddenly raced, voltage should be 0.6-1.0 volt. With engine warmed up and idling, voltage should repeatedly alternate between 0.2 volt or less and 0.6 volt or more.
- To test HO2S on Santa Fe 2.7L and Sonata 2.7L, warm up engine. Backprobe between HO2S connector terminals No. 1 and 2. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL. When engine is suddenly decelerated from 4000 RPM, voltage should be 4.0-5.0 volts. When engine is suddenly raced, voltage should be 0.5-1.0 volt.
