O2 sensor...

Thanks to Chrisgixers little black box , light now off, only real code was for the above... Seems to be switching ok, but perhaps a touch lazily.

When I get a chance, I shall swap the sensor for a known working one. I assume that all four sensors are the same (ignoring wire length)

[Kevin Wood]

I believe they are the same electrically.

Ta

Another job for the list

Yep same, 4 wire replacements come up same part number.

What was the exact description Al? Open circuit or summat

Voltage malfunction rings a bell, but I've slept (briefly) since then

[chrisgixer]

You have a pic, iirc?

Good point, well made

O2 sensor circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 1) not present

O2 sensor circuit malfunction (bank 1 sensor 1) not present

Was this from a decent reader, or one of those unspoken ones? If latter, don't pay too much attention to text as they are mostly 'dangle berries' (although it does point you in direction of the component giving implausible signals)

[TheBoy]

I'll bore you with the details one day

Yes it was the code reader that shall not be named.

I really like it actually. Although, as all things are relative, and I if was used to tech 2, no doubt I would think it quite poor, by comparison.

But as I don't have tech 2....?

T'wasn't knocking it, just understand its limitations that often the text given is wrong (but the main codes derived are right).  Oh, and keep away from programming


Though to put in some context, I lost my Tech2, but did get back the price I paid minus the insurance co's cut. I thus had a choice, buy another 2nd hand tech2 for a decent wedge of cash, or a cheap laptop reader (and pocket the cash)...   ...what did I do

And you know I have the capability to get that reader working, no matter what the driver issues are...

No brainer, given you had tech 2 in the first place. If I had the cash I would do as you have, obviously. But as I don't, its a more acceptable option than the genetic readers.

There was an uneven idle issue. And a known air leak. The code returned after clearing 2 or 3 times. It seemed to re appear, in fairly short order, in conjunction with a drop in revs.
