O2 Sensor Inspection

■ HO2 Sensor Inspection 

1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Connect VMI to GDS and set up an oscilloscope as follow (2-channel);

   Channel A (+): Pin No. 1 (Signal) terminal of Upstream O2 Sensor.

   Channel A (-): Ground

   Channel B (+): Pin No. 1 (Signal) terminal of Downstream O2 Sensor.

   Channel B(-): Ground

3. Ignition "ON" & Engine "ON"

4. Is measured value within speechification?

   YES 

   • Go to "MAP Sensor Inspection" procedure below.

   NO 

   • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
   • If no problems were found with the circuits or connectors, Replace the Downstream O2 Sensor and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
     CAUTION:

     • Install the component with the specified torques.
     • Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped or mistreated.
     CAUTION:

     • DO NOT use a cleaner, spray, or grease to sensing element and connector of the sensor because oil component in them may cause malfunction or affects on sensor performance.
     • Sensor and its wiring may be damaged in case of contacting with the exhaust system (Exhaust Manifold, Catalytic Converter, and others).

■ MAP Sensor Inspection 

1. Ignition "OFF"
2. Connect VMI to GDS and set up an oscilloscope as follow (2-channel);

   Channel A (+): Pin No. 1 (Signal) terminal of MAP Sensor.

   Channel A (-): Ground

   Channel B (+): Pin No. 4 (TPS1 Signal) terminal of Throttle Body.

   Channel B (-): Ground

3. Ignition "ON" & Engine "ON"
4. Testing Condition: Idle to Acceleration.

   Specification:  Refer to Figure below

5. Is measured value within specification?

   YES 

   • Go to next procedure.

   NO 

   • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
   • If no problems were found with the circuits or connectors, replace MAP Sensor and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
     CAUTION:

     • Install the component with the specified torques.
     • Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped or mistreated.
     CAUTION:

     • Insert the sensor in the installation hole and be careful not to damage
