A manufacturer flow chart will have you disconnect the O2, disconnect the engine computer (ECU, ECM, PCM) and then measure the signal wire for opens and shorts with an ohmmeter. Using the "bias voltage" test I am showing in this video, you can perform the same tests in a fraction of the time. "Bias voltage" on a circuit can be difficult to understand from an engineering standpoint but it is super easy to use when you know it is there. Tools used: labscope, digital multimeter, backprobing pin, Related videos: How to quickly test an oxygen sensor circuit (GM bias voltage) https://youtu.be/adkFTSoxM6Q, What can cause an O2 sensor to read near 5 volts? https://youtu.be/v8XrM-7BuOg, O2 sensor circuit testing (a ScannerDanner Premium video) https://youtu.be/Utui6SYAfoc, WARNING!
