- Measure resistance between heater power and heater control terminal of HO2S (S1) (Component Side)ITEM SPECIFICATION
Item Specification Heater Resistance (Ω) Approx. 3.2Ω ± 0.8Ω at 20°C (68°F) Courtesy of KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC.
- Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES
- Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage. So, check poor connections and the related circuit between ECM and component thoroughly. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
