Overall Function Check (2.5L)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Use this procedure to check the overall function of the heated oxygen sensor 2 circuit. During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.

With GST 

  1. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
  2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
  3. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3500 and 4000 RPM for at least 1 minute under no load.
  4. Let engine idle for 1 minute.
  5. Set voltmeter probes between ECM terminal No. 95, HO2S2 (B1) signal and engine ground, see Fig 1.
  6. Check the voltage when revving up to 4000 RPM under no load at least 10 times. Depress and release accelerator pedal as soon as possible.
    NOTE: A change of voltage should be more than 0.06V for 1 second during this procedure. If the voltage can be confirmed in step  6, step  7 is not necessary.
    NOTE: A change of voltage should be more than 0.06V for 1 second during this procedure.
  7. Keep vehicle at idling for 10 minutes, then check the voltage, or check the voltage when coasting from 50 MPH (80 km/h) in "D" position with "OD" OFF (A/T), 3rd gear position (M/T).
