Monitoring of O2 sensor chip
No fault memories
Terminal condition: Terminal 15, engine on
Voltage condition:
none
Condition for fault memory entry
Self-diagnosis processor chip has short to positive
Action in service
1. Visual inspection of wires, DME plug and O2 sensor for
damage
2. Check wires
3. Check plug-in connections DME Wiring harness
Upstream (pre-cat) O2 sensor for Bank 2
4. Check wiring harness for shorts to positive or ground and
shorts/shunt to other bank (melted?) => Replace wiring
harness
5. Replace O2 sensor
6. Replace DME

Fault description
O2 Sensor Signals Swapped Bank 1 Sensor 2 / Bank 2
Sensor 2
Condition for fault identification
Test condition:
O2 sensor system check
O2 sensor voltage too low = Signal sticks at lean on one
bank and O2 sensor voltage too high = Signal sticks on rich
on the other bank
The trim controller diagnosis must have been executed, see
trim controller diagnosis. Detection of faults during the trim
control diagnosis triggers the active test. Engine running at
idle is adequate for the active test;
Terminal condition: Terminal 15, engine on
Voltage condition:
none
Condition for fault memory entry
Downstream (post-cat) O2 sensor voltage 0.7 V with lean
lambda specification in active test on the other bank
Action in service
Replace downstream (post-cat) O2 sensors
