Yes, you can check an O2 sensor with a multimeter by measuring its voltage output. Start the engine and let it reach operating temperature, then connect the multimeter's positive lead to the O2 sensor's signal wire and the negative lead to a ground. A properly functioning O2 sensor should produce a voltage that fluctuates between approximately 0.1 to 0.9 volts as the engine runs. If the voltage remains constant or is outside this range, the sensor may be faulty.

It is recommended that you first read about how the O2 sensor works to familiarize yourself with the part. Perform a visual inspection of the sensor, confirm all connections are sound, and there are no cracks or other signs of physical damage to the sensor. Check your fuses to confirm that the O2 sensor is bad. If the fuse is good, you will require a voltmeter and test the sensor.
