O2 sensors voltage range
Hi all,
Does anyone know the regular range of a working O2 sensor? My SES goes on randomly regarding Sensor 1 Bank 1 (which I guess is the one closes to the radiator), but the readings I get through the OBD2 scanner are a bit confusing.
Specifically, it shows one of the sensors to be at 1.27 Volts under acceleration, 2nd one being at about 70 mV and the third one at 800 mV. I am guessing the third one is the rear one and the 2nd one being the defective one... but I want some feedback from those who may know - thanks

Your logic seems pretty sound. I understand the normal range is between .1 and .9 volts, and that 72 millivolts (.072 volts) reading is well below normal range...
if that's even what you were asking...

I wonder why the other o2 sensor is jumping to 1.27 volts tho...

Another faulty sensor perhaps? A higher voltage reading could also be from too much fuel and not enough air, but that's (obviously) not concurrent with your other two readings... What were the Trouble codes you pulled?

as for what jwaxmax99 said about the gas mileage...it will go up, but nothing too noticable.

0509 - sensor 1 bank 1; but now i am confused as hell which one it is exactly - the one close to the radiator or to the firewall?

Wait....can you confirm which code you pulled? 99's don't have regular codes like 95-98. They only have the ones that start with P since you can't check them manually. Which P code did you get?

The only thing is - this is for a 98; what about 99?!
Side 1 Bank 1 - which freakin side is this?!

Like i said, 99's don't have those type of codes where you count the times the CEL blinks since you can't check the codes manually. The 0509 doesn't apply to you. 99's only have Pxxxx codes (the ones you check through the OBD-II port) and according to the 1999 FSM P0509 doesn't exist.

But trust me - the 0509 code exists and does reference to the O2 sensor.
I jsut need someone to tell me which damn sensor it is on a 99 max - firewall or radiator side?!

Anyhow....
