Smog Ventilation Sensor: Inspection

INSPECT SMOG VENTILATION SENSOR
1. HC, CO
  1. Apply battery voltage between terminals 3 (IG) and 6 (E).
  2. Allow exhaust gas (HC, CO) to travel to the sensing portion of the smog ventilation sensor, and measure the resistance between terminals 1 (SG) and 2 (DGS).
    OK: When the sensor is exposed to the exhaust gas, the resistance increases.

    HINT:
    
    The resistance before blowing exhaust gas is 10kΩ to 40kΩ.
    
    If the resistance is not as specified, replace the smog ventilation sensor.
2. NOx
  1. Apply battery voltage between terminals 3 (IG) and 6 (E).
  2. Allow exhaust gas (NOx) to travel to the sensing portion of the smog ventilation sensor, and measure the resistance between terminals 1 (SG) and 4 (DGS1).
