Oxygen sensor voltages on a 1993 Subaru and most other vehicles should, with the sensor fully warmed (above 600 degrees F) vary rapidly above and below .45 volts. The range of fluctuations can be from .1volt to .9volts. A digital voltmeter will usually average these voltages to about .45 volt. Lower voltages indicate a lean mixture and higher voltages indicate a rich mixture. A scan tool or oscilloscope is necessary to see acurate live voltage changs on an oxygen sensor.
If there is a high resistance across the heater circuit if the voltage fluctuations are lazy or not even ie. there should be one rich to lean voltage fluctuation for every 1.2 seconds and then sine wave should be nice and even
NO. there 2 different things / sensors.
The 1996 Ford Taurus heated oxygen sensor can be found behind the dashboard on the passenger side of the passenger compartment. The oxygen sensor should be labeled as such.
That should be the sensor after the catalytic converter.
2 to 3 volts.
That is a MAP sensor code, check to see if the sensor is returning at least .5 volts, if not check for 5 volt reference voltage on the connector. If you have voltage going in, and none or less coming back out replace the sensor, if no reference voltage check the connectors, wiggle them and monitor the voltage. If the wiggle test checks out, draw a vacuum on the MAP sensor vacuum port. As you add vacuum the voltage should decrease. With no vacuum, the MAP sensor should read around 4.5 volts. If there is no change in MAP sensor reading on the scan tool, replace MAP sensor.
remove the sensor, backprobe the plug with a multimeter set on voltage, tap the knock sensor lightly with a spanner, you should see voltage respond by increasing whenever you tap it, this means your knock sensor is working correctly. if it does not move however it means that the sensor is faulty.
Simply put, an oxygen sensor reacts to oxygen thus creating a voltage as high as 0.9v. The higher the voltage the richer the engine is running. Abnormally high voltage is caused by unburnt oxygen in the system (misfire), abnormally low voltage (vacuum leaks) is a system running with a lack of fuel. An engine running properly will show an upstream (sensor 1) O2 sensor switching from .1 to .9 volts as the computer hunts for the optimal mix or 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel for gasoline engines. The downstream (sensor 2) should show a relatively stable, and lower voltage as these leftover combustion gases are scrubbed through a catalytic converter.If an oxygen sensor fails, the computer will substitute the O2 signal with a predetermined value. Typically and over rich mixture will be used to protect the engine as damage can occur if running lean, however, prolonged rich mixture can damage the catalytic converter, which can be expensive to replace.The oxygen sensor is a key component to a fuel injection system. Working in unison with other critical components such as engine coolant temp sensors, air flow sensors, throttle position sensors, these devices prolong engine life, increase fuel efficiency, reduce harmful emissions and have dramatically increased the reliability and ease of use of the modern day engine.
The 2001 Toyota Tundra front oxygen sensor torque specification is 20 pounds. The oxygen sensor bolts should be torqued in 10 pound intervals.
That should be the Oxygen Sensor
There should be two Oxygen sensors; the one that wears out most frequently is installed in the exhaust manifold, close to where the exhaust pipe connects. The second Oxygen sensor should be behind the catalytic converter.
