Where are the wires on the oxygen sensor?
Note that Brown/Violet and Brown/Light Green wires belong to the heater circuits of the front oxygen sensors. In Chrysler vehicles, four wire oxygen sensor heater circuits tend to be powered by the PCM instead of grounded (they are grounded to the chassis).
Is there a way to trace an O2 sensor?
However, we have not yet covered tracing O2 sensor wiring and checking for a “lazy” sensor. After reviewing the basics, we will move onto troubleshooting these more advanced oxygen sensor issues. Oxygen and air-fuel sensors are the vehicle’s personal emissions analyzer.
How does the PCM work with the O2 sensor?
When the air-fuel or oxygen sensor senses a rich fuel mixture in the exhaust, the PCM takes that information and then tries to do the opposite to make a fuel mixture that is perfect (called “Lambda”) by sending fuel trims in the opposite direction. The same is true when the oxygen sensor senses a lean fuel mixture in the exhaust.
How to graph S1 and S2 oxygen sensors?
Simply graph both S1 and S2 oxygen sensors at the same time. Their voltage oscillation should be identical. If one goes up and down quicker than the other, and the slower one is the one that happens to have the DTC, the slower one is “lazy.”
What are the colors of an O2 sensor wire?

How does a two wire sensor work on a heater?
Two-wire sensors use one wire for the sensor’s signal and the other one to power the heater. Three-wire models, use one wire for the signal and the other two wires to power and ground the heater. Four-wire sensors, though, use one of the wires to ground the sensor itself.
