Engine Controls - Sensor Operating Range Charts: Introduction
Sensor operating range information is supplied so that if a sensor is out calibration, it can be determined. A sensor that is out of calibration may not set a trouble code; however, it may cause driveability problems.
For testing, disconnect sensor electrical connector with key off. Connect an ohmmeter lead to one of the sensor connector terminal. Connect other ohmmeter lead to remaining sensor connector terminal. See appropriate sensor specifications table. If readings from sensor are not within specification, replace sensor.
