HOW TO TEST AN OXYGEN SENSOR

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video, you will learn how to test an oxygen sensor (upstream). It will also teach you how to test the oxygen sensor heater both upstream and downstream. This video is created specifically for narrowband zirconia oxygen sensors. Watching this video will help you diagnose to see if it is time to replace your oxygen sensor. You will also know how an oxygen sensor works. This video also teaches you where the oxygen sensor is located.
Thank you for watching!

    You state that the first test "is only for the oxygen censor before the catalytic converter" (1:19) . Don't you also need to do a voltage test for the oxygen censor that's after the catalytic converter? If so is it done the same way as the one for the oxygen censor before the catalytic converter?

    After the CAT everything is cleaned and the O2 should read a constant number not changing much. There is no test to verify the CAT is working. But if it does change like the front one, the CAT could be bad.

CE light came on again. I"m completely lost. Any advice ? Faulty wiring from the sensor to the ecm ? Parts store recommended purge valve ? I"ve replaced the MAF and the map sensor, and don't think it's a fuel leak.

    volvo 240 manual states the multimeter needs to have " a minimum impedance of 10 megaohms" and that "using a meter with less than 10 megaohms impedance can damage [the car's] LH control unit." i can imagine that this information may be similar to many other if not all vehicles, so my question to you is: should this at least not be discussed in your video? and how can an individual know by looking at their meter specs that their meter indeed should or should not be used in this testing? thanks in advance!

    I am no carburetor expert, but the idle adjustments need to be analyzed and changed accordingly. If you you had a electronic fuel injection with a throttle body I would recommend to replace your IAC(Idle Air Control) valve and the TPS(Throttle Position Sensor).

    A shop, recently replaced the upstream 02 sensor twice. After I scanned it at Autozone, the results say the sensor is having a slow response. Should I buy a more expensive 02 sensor? The car feels like it is very sluggish, and check engine light only comes on when driven / car is warmed up. I do not have a way to test the voltage.

    Voltage testers can be as low as $10 usd. Will take the guessing out of battery and charging issues too. I bought a cheap o2 sensor and I believe that’s my problem. I’ll do the testing before spending good money after bad. 🍀 if you bought the more expensive and it fixed your issue please post for others benefits

    I installed a new o2 sensor in my car, but I still get low constant voltage of 0.4 volts when on idle. If I go to 2000 rpm it drops to less than 0.1 volts. there is almost no fluctuation. If I go back to idle it jumps to around 0.6 sometimes and back to around 0.4 volts. What can be the reason? Does it mean the ecu is already putting the maximum fuel it can put and it still not enough to make the mixture rich? How can I troubleshoot it?

    It shows your car cannot control the fuel mixture. and is running lean at 0.4 and worse at o.1. When you return back to idle it runs rich a bit but not correct. O2 only read the exhaust it is not a repair if the car is broken. Read the list of lean car. conditions at 2::35
