Heated Oxygen Sensor: Inspection

2004 Toyota Celica GT, StandardSECTION Inspection
  1. INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (BANK 1 SENSOR 1) 
    1. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
    2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals +B and HT.

      Resistance: 

      • 1ZZ-FE: 5-10 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 
      • 2ZZ-GE: 11-16 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

      If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.

      • Torque: 44 N.m (450 kgf.cm, 31 ft.lbf) 
    3. Reconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
  2. INSPECT HEATER RESISTANCE OF HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (BANK 1, SENSOR 2) 
    1. Remove the passenger's seat.
    2. Take out the floor carpet.
    3. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
    4. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals +B and HT.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • 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.
