  • In this video I will show you how and Oxygen Sensor aka air fuel ratio sensor works, how the heating element ground power and the signal wire work and a hack you can use to identify each wire. Using the knowledge in this video you'll be able to diagnose and fix problems with oxygen sensors with one, two, three or four wires.

      Hey i have a question i recently change my civic 2010 o2 sensor bank1 sensor 2 and sensor 1 but the codes are still there before changing the sensors there was code engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction and problem but after i change o2 sensors this code is gone but new codes showed up which is air fuel ratio sensor short range performance problem. And rear air fuel bank 1 sensor 1 circuit out of range high these 2 code are showing with red engine light on scanner but not on dash.

    Good stuff, writing this down for future use. Find the sensor heater and ground with an ohmmeter. On the harness find the heater hot with a test light. Find the harness permanent ground with a test light, it is used by the signal output. Then find the harness switched ground by turning on the engine power and a test light. The remaining harness wire is signal.

      I understand much better, how O2 sensors work and more importantly how to test them. I have a Tacoma truck, no error codes but, the O2 sensor and catalyst registers won't set. That has stumped everyone, no one knew what to do. I spent a ton of money trying to get at least one of the registers fixed and to set. I finally sit down cleared my mind and decided the forward o2 Sensor needed to be replaced. I got it replaced and the O2 Register set in less than 5 miles. I could get my truck registered now. Several months later the O2 register will not set again. The Catalyst never did even after spending $600 on a new catalytic converter. I'm still mad as hell about that. Smog issues are not fun, not many know what they are doing and just start replacing parts which add up very fast.

      well i dont know how good it is to test ground a wire that receives a positive voltage signal . always make sure one finds the signal wire with a ohm meter before trying to find the grounds or the power wire . the signal wire is very sensitive and should never be ground or to have any other voltage input .

    Good vid always good info.
    Best term to use on DC systems is common not ground.
    Also when you test for restistence across the signal wire and common, the voltage applied from your meter could damage the o2 sensor. Output voltage on o2 sensors are very small. This is what I learned from watching other vids. Not from my own experience, so I don't know how true that is or not.

    Hi. When decelerating, my fuel system is in open loop, but once the speed fall anywhere between 20 to 10 mph, for a second I get OL has not satisfied yet conditions to go to CL, then immediately goes into CL using all oxy sensors, while still decelerating down from 20 to a stop. What would that indicate and does need to be done? No codes, no lights.
    PS: you’re one of the most knowledgeable mechanics and the videos show it all.
