Action in service
This malfunction automatically triggers an active test
(collateral fault stored in the control module’s fault
memory!).
1. Read out results of active test (are other faults still stored
in the control module’s fault memory)? => Then continue at
this point!)
2. Initiate system test for reversed O2 sensors. Follow
instructions for system test.
3. If the system test fails to produce a result then
4. Visual inspection of wiring and plugs
5. Electrical check of wiring
6. Replace wiring or plugs as indicated
7. Check exhaust system forward of downstream (post-cat)
O2 sensor for leaks
8. Replace upstream (pre-cat) O2 sensor
9. Replace downstream (post-cat) O2 sensor
