Diagnosis information - DME V6 DFI

Oxygen sensors behind catalytic converter interchanged

NOTE: Do not use contact spray on the oxygen sensor's plug connections as this will result in irreparable damage to the lines (blockage of reference air duct).

NOTE: Do not interchange the oxygen sensor ahead of catalytic converter with the sensor behind the catalytic converter as this will result in implausible fault entries.

Diagnostic conditions
- Battery positive voltage between 10 V and 16 V
