Testing O2 sensors ??

Is there anyway to test O2 sensors ??

I think my car is running in open loop since its constantly running at about 900rpms and I think it may be caused by the 02 sensors, possibly.

Looking through some reciepts and they were changes back in Nov 03'.

Any input would be great.

Are you 1000% sure your TPS is within spec considering you have a PF TB?

Matt,
Your idle speed would not be effected if o2's were bad and you should throw a code as well.

the only way to test your o2 sensors is with a lab scope. or a scantool if it can show values.
02 sensors work way to fast to test them with a DVM

yea any nissan consult computer will be able to test them....

go to any local dealership and they should be able to tell you in 5 mins.


i was recently throwing a rear bank 02 code (po163 or 0707) and come to find out VIA CONSULT that my o2 sensor was STILL WORKING PERFECTLY....

Idle speed is not affected by O2 sensors.
