NOTE: Also, perform testing under any Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) related DTCs in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article.

Disconnect HO2S 4-pin harness connector (front - Black; rear - Brown). Connect voltmeter between HO2S harness connector terminals No. 3 and 4. See Fig 1 . Start engine. If voltmeter reads .40-.50 volts, replace HO2S. If voltmeter does not read .40-.50 volts, check HO2S wiring. Repair as necessary.
