O2S Test Result

NOTE: The O2S Test Result is not applicable to the A/F sensor and HO2S heater. These test result are checked by the Monitor Status. Refer to CHECKING MONITOR STATUS .
  1. INTRODUCTION 

    The O2S Test Result (Mode 5) allows the OBD scan tool to display the test value that was used to determine whether the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is functioning normally or not. A problem in the HO2S can be found by comparing the test value and malfunction criterion. The O2S test result information is included under "O2S TEST RESULT" in the HO2S-related DTC sections (DTC P0136).

    The ECM (PCM) monitors the HO2S. After the monitor, the ECM stores the test value. When the test value is inside the malfunction criterion, the HO2S is functioning normally. If the test value is outside the malfunction criterion, the HO2S is malfunctioning.
