Subject:      O2 sensor coax wire testing
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I am looking for advice on how to test the green coax wire coming from the O2 sensor. In the archives there is discussion about this wire and the possibility of an internal short that causes the ECU to get upset, run the engine rich and cause poor idling. However, the archives were not very clear on a test procedure for this shorting situation.

Another question...the O2 sensor voltage is definitely produced by the sensor - correct? Not the ECU. The ECU picks up this voltage and looks for a nice consistent flip-flop between .45 and .55 volts - correct?

Thanks.
