Hi people

I have a problem on my 2.0tsfi, The other day i had the EMLlight come up. I had DannyKn9 from here plug my car in and he gave me thereadings of the faults, what i will copy and put up on here. Basically the carhas a problem on the heater circuit its saying its on both sensors but i believeboth sensors use the same circuit so if one of the sensors heaters fails itshows up as both ?
The first thing i did was to check the fuses all seem fine.Also i had a quick look around to make sure there was no damage to the loom orsenor leads and everything was fine. So i got the multimeter out and did aresistance test across the sensors heaters to see what reading i got. On thePre cat sensor (5 wire) i had a reading of 2.9ohm's and on the post cat sensor(4 wires) i had the reading of 9.1ohms would them readings be right ? Thanks any help would be great please.

have you been using cheap fuel?
 
Hi thanks for your reply. Nope been using mostly shell vpower, habbit from my old car as it only run on that. the light did come on from fuel the old own had put in the car come to think of it.
 
had this with a couple of my past cars- the previous owners had used bargain basement stuff.

Try removing & cleaning the lambda sensors to remove any soot build-up! I used wet & dry, then brake cleaner - worked a treat.
 
I will give it a go, but dont think that would give a fault code for the heaters not to be working ?
 
Start with the easy stuff. Measure the heaters to see if you have an open heater. The procedure is in the Bentley service manual.

Hi mate thanks for your reply

I have, pre cat i got the reading of 2.0ohms and post cat 9.1ohms and ok i will have a look see if i can find the manaul online or some think.

Thanks Billy
 
Sounds like your heaters are good. Here's the text from my Bentley:

Oxygen Sensor O2S Heater, Checking
Observe all safety precautions: Safety Precautions
View clean working conditions: Clean Working Conditions
Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.
For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.
Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Heater Z19 is part of Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 and cannot be replaced separately.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
multimeter.
Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
Fuse SB15 OK.
Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271 OK.
Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.

Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 terminals 3 to 4 for resistance.
Specified value: 2.5 to 10.0 Ω (at approx. 20 degree C)
If the specification was not obtained:
Replace the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 . Refer to the appropriate service manual.
If the specification was obtained:
Checking voltage supply
Crank the engine (engine may run).

Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 electrical harness connector terminal 4 to Ground (GND) for voltage.

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 electrical harness connector terminal Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 electrical harness connector T94 terminal or test box socket
4 Ground (GND)
Switch the ignition off.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
If the specification was not obtained:
Check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 electrical harness connector terminal 4 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay J271 socket 2/87 an open circuit, a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specification was obtained:
Checking Ground (GND) activation
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
Install the test box.
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 . Refer to the appropriate service manual.

Using a multimeter, check the Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) G39 electrical harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 electrical harness connector T94 terminal 73 for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.
If the specification was not obtained:
Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:
Erase the DTC memory. Refer to Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory .
Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Generate readiness code. Refer to Readiness Code .
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:
Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 . Refer to the appropriate service manual.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
Check the DTC memory. Refer to .
If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to .
If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to
 
Thank you very much, just the info i need.
