O2 Monitor Test

NOTE: This is NOT an on-demand test. The O2 sensors are not tested when this

menu selection is made. The O2 sensors were tested at an earlier time when

engine operating conditions were correct.

OBD II regulations require the vehicle to monitor and test the oxygen sensors. The O2

Monitor Test selection allows the technician to retrieve the completed test information

on the oxygen sensors from the PCM. Information on the oxygen sensor monitors will

be helpful in recognizing sensor or system problems related to fuel and emissions. The

oxygen sensor test may include the following information:

To view the oxygen sensor test results, select

O2 Monitor Test from the OBD II Function

Menu and press the ENTER key.

Once the O2 Monitor Test has been selected

the recommended oxygen sensor tests list will

be displayed. Select which test you want to

review using the UP/DOWN arrow keys then

press the ENTER key.

The OBD II System Tester will display selected

information for all the vehicle’s oxygen sen-

sors. Listing the sensors together makes their

data easier to compare. Tests not supported

by the test vehicle will return three dashes after

the sensor name.

NOTE: If you get an Operating Error message, make sure the DLC adapter cable is

securely attached and the ignition key is ON, then try again. If the problem

remains, refer to Section 4: On-Line Help and Trouble-Shooting Tips.

NOTE: Remember that some sensors are before the catalytic converter (precatalyst)

and some are after (postcatalyst). The precatalyst and postcatalyst O2

sensors may act differently. Use the arrow keys to scroll through list if

necessary.
