  3. Run the engine at between 2,500 rpm and 3,000 rpm for about 90 seconds.
  4. After confirming that the waveform of the bank 1 sensor 1 (OX1A) which oscillates between 0 V and 1 V under feedback to the ECM, check the waveform of the bank 1 sensor 2 (OX1B).

HINT:

If there is a malfunction in the system, the waveform of sensor 2 (OX2A) may become similar to that of sensor 1 (OX1A) shown in Fig 2 .
