Thanks for the time you spent making the video. I do have questions if you can help further: On my 2008 Kia Rondo I am dealing with OBD code for the downstream sensor that seems to not respond to O2 variations. So I purchased two sensors just to verify what a good sensor should show on test bench. Bosch 15320 and NTK 25183. The NTK is lot more money but it is OEM. I wanted to test them as you explained. Temp at the outer casing on the tip was around 360 - 400F during test. The way I do it is slightly different. I start with sensor in the jar with candle lit in jar. I place a lid over the jar and wait until the flame is gone. Then I check voltage: NTK sensor shows - 8.5 mv. I removed rapidly the sensor from the jar to see the reaction when exposed to ambient air: The voltage quickly went to -14.5 mv. Notice the polarity reading is negative. I did pay attention to connecting the voltmeter + probe to the black wire which is supposed to be signal wire on this sensor. I thought that signal would be considered the positive side, correct? Also notice the voltage going from 8.5 to 13.5 when O2 level increases. This is contrary to what you experienced in your test and I think contrary to what the sensor does in a car. In a car the sensor voltage decreases when the O2 increases. I wonder about whether I have the wrong sensors or it is simply the nature of this simple test. b The Bosch sensor reacted in the same manner with -10.6 mv without O2 and - 17 mv in ambient air.

Great video. It would be nice if you could time stamp the parts of the video in the description so we can come back and skip to the testing procedure or other sections for reference.
good test .. Because in most cases the sensor is OK, and the problem lies somewhere else .. Injectors are dripping / fuel pressure too low / incorrect air in the intake area / ignition system defective.
To drive the Oxygen sensor to his maximum voltage, you can mount the sensor in a piece of metal tube, and pull this tube it vacuum. This only works offcourse if you have a electrical heated oxygen sensor. The voltage is created by the internal capsule which contains pure oxygen on the inside, and the less oxygen on the outside of this capsule, the more voltage difference is created by the in and outside of this capsule.

Good video. Rewatched. Any concern (ever) with voltage reading in millivolts? 5 millivolts- for example- is 0.005 volts. Proper reading range to be between (0-1v). I do understand this test shows viability and quick response.........but Id think the voltage would be higher. What am I missing? Maybe not entirely not enough? Combustion gas would have far less oxygen - somehow? Please advise. Thanks!
I tested my O2 sensor and it showed stable 4 mV (0.004 V) in room air. I tested it other way around, I blow the air to the sensor to get more oxygen to see if there are fluctuations, and voltage dropped to 1 mV, which is consistent behaviour.
I had to cut my old 02 sensor wire and wire to new one cuz the new 02 sensor it was too short it should still work right long as wires connecter back together?
My guess is that it is still not as hot as would be required to be displaying values in the 0.1v to 0.9V range. Just my guess at this point. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can chime in.
Sir , my honda jazz ivtec has P0420 code , i tested the O2 sensor by this method and results was Heater is working, After heating the reading was around 5.5 at normal atmospheric condition , when introduced to a bottle of smoke ( as shown in the video ) it has decreased to around 1.8 , when i turned off the heater value increased to about 15 and again fall back to 0 slowly I had put the multimeter to 200mV position And change in the values was very quick
Hey, so does this mean, if i disconnect oxgen sensor from car and test it with multimeter, even if it shows a response, the oxgen sensor could still be faulty because its not getting tested and required heat temperature ?? Im getting a p0420 code , after fitting brand new approved cat after couple weeks, scratching my head, as checked the 02 sensors disconnected and they show a response, they aint at zero. When i clear the code, it comes back on after along drive. Thanks
Really well done we went into more detail then my automotive instructor lol I do alot of automotive electrical on my channel too you might get a kick out of it 🍻
I'm trying to trouble shoot my tacoma 2000 and was wondering what happens to my truck if the black and gray doesn't work(which is what i'm reading with my multimeter)? Right now it's have a rough idle but runs fine when driving. But since it's an old truck, i'm leaning to an air leak that I cannot find. I'm asking because people always have trouble shooting videos on detecting bad sensors, but not the impact of a dead sensor on ECU. Since it's dead, how does the ECU compensate for it since there is no signal going to it from the 02 sensors? Does it run tell the computer to run lean?
I'd say 50/50. I've seen many people replace O2 sensors to end up with the same codes or new O2 codes because the MAF was faulty, female O2 wire harness had poor connections, or other engine problems.
i have a mitshubishi endeavor 2004 i just replace bank 1 sensor 1 and im still getting check engine light saying bank1 sensor 1 is bad and the sensor is good what else can i check
This sensor looks like an A/F sensor because of the readings is too low. I know that the O2 sensor readings fluctuate between 100 - 900 mV. Or i missing something 🤔
@@619guy202 you are correct. The cheap ones, about $15 to $18, are often the single wire none heated wide band sensors. The expensive A/F guage and sensor kits are often a 4 wire heated narrow band sensor that can give far more accurate readings. While the wide band is literaly that. They flucate largely and an average reading is used. A verry budget model guage you will see this fast flucation while cruusing as the A/F is rapidly adjusted continously. A mid range model will have a buffer circut to average out the reading, the ecm still has to adjust the A/F rapidly to account for the average reading of the single wire O2 sensors. The narrow band sensors allow the ecm to more accurately adjust the A/F and a steady value will be observed. As it provides a more accurate reading in the first place. As the old saying goes garbage in garbage out. All though depending on your purpose a mid range or budget model can suit your purpose at a lower initial and life time maintance costs. Performance needs would all ways fall towards the more expensive and more accurate models. As the high end narrow band sensors can cost several hundred US dollars.
@electronicsNmore If the sensor is plugged into the vehicle harness *but not the cat* and key switch is turned to the on position (getting 12V from) should the sensor heat up?
I got rid of it, it was a big waste of time for me. Some channels do very well with it, many others don't. I now use the Paypal link provided in the video description area for channel donations. Thanks for watching!
This doesn't work with all sensors..it's been tried and with a brand new Denson sensor. only if you put the flame of the lighter, then the voltage jumps. when the heating element is on.
Best off to clean all the sensors in a vehicle and test them all off the vehicle because if you replace just one it will not have carbon build up and give different readings that will trip a code so best to clean them all so if you replace one sensor the others will be clean and operate in the same range .. just like fuel injectors if you replace just one and rest are dirty and gummed up the engine is going to run poorly and possibly out of balance. clean them all replace the bad one with a new oem one or cheaper yet get one or 2 from a salvage yard really cheap and clean them and have a spare and possibly less then $20 versus $100 plus for an oem injector.. news flash cheap injectors from e bay are made in china garbage and part store one not much better.
Nothing wrong with using Harbor Freight jumpers for this sort of application. There are no high voltages present. Quite honestly, if you buy these from Mouser, Digi-Key or other "reputable" electronics suppliers you will most likely receive the exact same jumpers made in the exact same Chinese factory, but pay more money for them.
Fake? The Heater signal is pwm. You just put the sensor in 100% duty cicle for too long. You should use maybe a 6v battery for the vídeo become less fake. What the hell is 5v (no O2) and 12v (O2) signal in a O2 sensor? What is the make and model of the sensor and of the cars it fit?

if you are going to test the heater between the terminal and the o2s body ground doesn't it needs to be installed to read ground?
my 02 sensor has 2 whites white does it matter when connected or are they both heater wires and dont matter which way round connected

Hi. The info at the start said approx 0.1-0.9v should be expected, but the meter showed 1milli-volt (- 100-times smaller)? I don't understand?

If they use an internal heater, then most likely.
Is that a upper or lower? They are different.
Great
how do you know which is signal wire
In my experience O2 sensor often is the problem.
I'd say 50/50. I've seen many people replace O2 sensors to end up with the same codes or new O2 codes because the MAF was faulty, female O2 wire harness had poor connections, or other engine problems.
That looks like a lower but to what car model? 😮
i have a mitshubishi endeavor 2004 i just replace bank 1 sensor 1 and im still getting check engine light saying bank1 sensor 1 is bad and the sensor is good what else can i check
Check wire harness to the sensor, A faulty MAF can also cause problems. Watch my MAF video below. Thanks!

you can just put the sensor on the candle fire, it should be 0.8V= 800mV， 5mV can be ignore.
This sensor looks like an A/F sensor because of the readings is too low.
I know that the O2 sensor readings fluctuate between 100 - 900 mV.
Or i missing something 🤔
You missed something. :-)
@toolman talal wtf isn’t A/F sensor just another name for oxygen sensor??
@@619guy202 you are correct. The cheap ones, about $15 to $18, are often the single wire none heated wide band sensors. The expensive A/F guage and sensor kits are often a 4 wire heated narrow band sensor that can give far more accurate readings. While the wide band is literaly that. They flucate largely and an average reading is used. A verry budget model guage you will see this fast flucation while cruusing as the A/F is rapidly adjusted continously. A mid range model will have a buffer circut to average out the reading, the ecm still has to adjust the A/F rapidly to account for the average reading of the single wire O2 sensors. The narrow band sensors allow the ecm to more accurately adjust the A/F and a steady value will be observed. As it provides a more accurate reading in the first place. As the old saying goes garbage in garbage out. All though depending on your purpose a mid range or budget model can suit your purpose at a lower initial and life time maintance costs. Performance needs would all ways fall towards the more expensive and more accurate models. As the high end narrow band sensors can cost several hundred US dollars.
@William Allen yes now bow down to me
Said .1-1.0 volt range but it's only millivolts, go re-figure that!
A propane torch should also clean it from build up carbon ?
@electronicsNmore If the sensor is plugged into the vehicle harness *but not the cat* and key switch is turned to the on position (getting 12V from) should the sensor heat up?
Is ok but I don't know if is hook up in the battery n mybwuestio is how to test it in inside your house n others RUclips said use oms
Why does it go negative? shouldn't it be zero?
DO you have patreon?
I got rid of it, it was a big waste of time for me. Some channels do very well with it, many others don't. I now use the Paypal link provided in the video description area for channel donations. Thanks for watching!
you must be in a banana republic the real world uses centigrade
You must be a loser with nothing better to do.
This doesn't work with all sensors..it's been tried and with a brand new Denson sensor. only if you put the flame of the lighter, then the voltage jumps. when the heating element is on.
Why cant you test single wire sensor
Salut juste une demande la traduction en français peut nous aider
You talking so much just 1 sensor test bro
Good information bro.
Where is the map sensor
Oxygen heater
Where is the oxygen heater
Best off to clean all the sensors in a vehicle and test them all off the vehicle because if you replace just one it will not have carbon build up and give different readings that will trip a code so best to clean them all so if you replace one sensor the others will be clean and operate in the same range .. just like fuel injectors if you replace just one and rest are dirty and gummed up the engine is going to run poorly and possibly out of balance. clean them all replace the bad one with a new oem one or cheaper yet get one or 2 from a salvage yard really cheap and clean them and have a spare and possibly less then $20 versus $100 plus for an oem injector.. news flash cheap injectors from e bay are made in china garbage and part store one not much better.
Ill pass on HF wires
What do you mean?
electronicsNmore
Harbor Freight wires
@@sirsweetness8332 Thanks, I was wondering what he was talking about.
Nothing wrong with using Harbor Freight jumpers for this sort of application. There are no high voltages present. Quite honestly, if you buy these from Mouser, Digi-Key or other "reputable" electronics suppliers you will most likely receive the exact same jumpers made in the exact same Chinese factory, but pay more money for them.
Fake? The Heater signal is pwm. You just put the sensor in 100% duty cicle for too long. You should use maybe a 6v battery for the vídeo become less fake. What the hell is 5v (no O2) and 12v (O2) signal in a O2 sensor? What is the make and model of the sensor and of the cars it fit?
