Kawasaki Z1000SX - Service manual > Oxygen Sensor - not activated (Service Code 33, Equipped Models)

Oxygen Sensor Removal/Installation

• Refer to the Oxygen Sensor Removal/Installation in the Electrical System chapter.

Oxygen Sensor Inspection

• Warm up the engine thoroughly until the radiator fan starts.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF.
• Remove the right fairing (see Lower Fairing Removal in the Frame chapter).
• Open the clamp [A], and pull out the oxygen sensor lead connector [B].

• Disconnect the oxygen sensor lead connector (4 pins connector) and connect the harness adapter [A] between these connectors.

  [B] Main Harness
  [C] Oxygen Sensor

Special Tool - Measuring Adapter: 57001-1700

• Connect a digital meter [D] to the harness adapter leads.

Oxygen Sensor Output Voltage
 Connections to Adapter:
  Digital Meter (+) → R (sensor BL) lead
  Digital Meter (−) → BK (sensor W) lead

• Remove:
  Air Cleaner Housing (see Air Cleaner Housing Removal)
• Disconnect the stick coil connectors [A].
• Separate the air switching valve hoses [B] from the air suction valve covers.
  • Do not disconnect the air switching valve connector [C].

• Install the suitable plugs [A] on the fitting of the air suction valve covers, and shut off the secondary air.
• Connect the stick coil connectors.
• Install the air cleaner housing temporarily (see Air Cleaner Housing Installation).

• Remove the fuel hose (see Fuel Hose Replacement in the Periodic Maintenance chapter).
• Connect the following parts temporary.

  Fuel Pump Lead Connector [A]
  Fuel Hose [B]

Special Tool - Fuel Hose: 57001-1607

• Start the engine, and let it idle.
• Measure the output voltage with the connector joined.

Output Voltage (with Plugs)
 Standard: DC 0.7 V or more

• Next, remove the air cleaner housing to take out the plugs from the fittings [A] of the air suction valve covers.
• Install the air cleaner housing.
• Start the engine, and let it idle.
• Measure the output voltage with the connector joined.

Output Voltage (without Plugs)
 Standard: DC 0.2 V or less

• Turn the ignition switch OFF.

If the reading is out of the standard (with plugs: DC 0.7 V or more, without plugs: DC 0.2 V or less), remove the ECU and check the wiring for continuity between main harness connectors.

• Disconnect the ECU and sensor connectors.

Wiring Inspection
 ECU Connectors [A] ←→
  Oxygen Sensor Connector [B]
   W/BL lead (ECU terminal 32) [C]
   BR/BK lead (ECU terminal 33) [D]

If the wiring is good, replace the sensor.

If the reading is within the standard (with plugs: DC 0.7 V or more, without plugs: DC 0.2 V or less), check the ECU for its ground and power supply (see ECU Power Supply Inspection).

If the ground and power supply are good, replace the ECU (see ECU Removal/Installation).
