TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 NOTE: Check the vehicle repair history. If the O2 has been replace ensure
that the O2 sensor was properly installed and meets OEM specification.
NOTE: Check for contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor:
contaminated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIIIt, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero?
All
Yes → Go To 2
No → Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION symptom in the
Driveability category.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
2 Turn the ignition off.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury from the exhaust system being hot,
allow the exhaust to cool down to a safe temperature before performing a
physical inspection.
Visually and Physically inspect the for holes, cracks and blockage in the exhaust
system.
Is the exhaust system is good condition?
All
Yes → Go To 3
No → Repair or Replace as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
3 Check for any of the following conditions/mechanical problems.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM - must be free from leaks.
ENGINE VACUUM - must be at least 13 inches in neutral
ENGINE VALVE TIMING - must be within specifications
ENGINE COMPRESSION - must be within specifications
ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM - must be free of any restrictions or leaks.
ENGINE PCV SYSTEM - must flow freely
TORQUE CONVERTER STALL SPEED - must be within specifications
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER - no internal vacuum leaks
FUEL - must be free of contamination
FUEL INJECTOR - plugged or restricted injector; control wire not connected to
correct injector
Are there any engine mechanical problems?
All
Yes → Repair as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
No → Go To 4
4 Ignition on, engine not running.
Disconnect the O2 Sensor harness connector.
With the DRBIIIt, monitor the O2 Sensor voltage.
The O2 Sensor voltage should read 5.0 volts on the DRBIIIt with the connector
disconnected.
Using a jumper wire, jump the O2 Signal circuit to the O2 Return circuit at the O2
Sensor harness connector.
NOTE: The voltage should drop from 5.0 volts to 2.5 volts with the jumper
wire in place.
Did the O2 Sensor volts change from 5.0 volts to 2.5 volts?
All
Yes → Replace the O2 Sensor
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
No → Go To 5
