Verification




Verification

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off.
- Reconnect connectors, reinstall components
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Read off the signal for the rear heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).

Note! It takes approximately 50 seconds before fuel trim starts.

Check that the signal is within its permitted range. The signal should rise and exceed 0.67 V.









Is the value OK?
