Diagnostic mode 5: Check output of oxygen sensor signals

Function 

The static values of the oxygen sensors are indicated via this diagnostic mode.

The values of the individual oxygen sensor signal outputs must reach the specified value or must be within the min.- and max.- limits.

NOTE:
  • Bank 1 = Cylinder bank 1, in direction of travel, right
  • Bank 2 = Cylinder bank 2, in direction of travel, left
  • When selecting the diagnostic mode, the entry is always performed in "Bank 1 sensor 1".
