How to Measure the Condition of an Oxygen Sensor?
1 Answers
Methods for measuring the condition of an oxygen sensor are as follows: 1. Check with a decoder: If the oxygen sensor malfunctions, the car's ECU will store a fault code. You can directly use a decoder to detect it. If a fault code appears on the machine, it indicates an oxygen sensor failure. 2. Check the resistance of the oxygen sensor heating element: Under normal conditions, the resistance of the oxygen sensor heating element is 1-5 ohms. Use a multimeter's resistance setting to measure the resistance between the two ends of the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector to determine if there is a malfunction. 3. Check the power supply of the oxygen sensor heating element: When using a multimeter to check the oxygen sensor heating element, start the engine and measure the power supply voltage at both ends of the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector. The normal voltage should be above 11V.
