[QUOTE="sekut_kring, post: 1403607, member: 31508"] [b]Little info[/b] I got this from my collection....hope this will give your a little help. In order to read the O2 sensor, most computers send out a certain voltage to the output terminal of the sensor. This is typically around 450 millivolts. Since we know that the sensor sends low voltage (under 300mv) when a lean condition is present and a high voltage (over 600mv) when a rich condition is present, the computer can count the number of times the sensor crosses the 450mv mark. Cross-counts are the number of times an O2 sensor crosses 450mv. A scanner can "look" at this for you. Even though you can't see the number of cross-counts without a scanner, you can use a digital voltmeter to watch the open/closed loop system operate. Just connect your meter as attachment, while the O2 sensor is still connected, and start-up the car. Caution: Do not ground the output wire of the sensor. This can damage the sensor and your readings will be erroneous. When the car starts (cold), you should see approximately .450 Volt (450mv) on the O2 output wire. This reading often varies slightly. The system is now in open loop. After a few minutes (less if the engine is warm or the O2 Sensor is heated), this reading should begin to fluctuate. You will see changing numbers ranging from near 0 volt to near 1 Volt. If these readings occur, everything is ok. The O2 sensor's output should vary relatively quickly. A lazy sensor, would show up here and the readings will vary slowly. If the readings don't start to vary (stay in open loop), you now are aware of it and can begin to look for the reason. [/QUOTE]
