Hi all

Last week my oxygen sensor plug fell onto the dump pipe of my exhaust. Now i've had to re-wire the 02 sensor (cut it before the plug cause it was absolutely f**ked) And since then ive been getting 0v :P So I'm more than guessing ive hooked it up the wrong way (scan tool to check voltages)

The pic I have attached is of the 3 wires... One of the wires have like, 2 different wires surrounding the central wire.. anyways ill show u the pic.

please let me know ASAP as my fuel consumption is absolutely herrendous.. lol!

Thanks in advance

(ive tried searching to know availe)

does anybody know?

Can I even re-wire them? please help... noob to auto electronics..

EDIT: Ok, ive done a bit more research, it seems there is some sort of shielded ground on one of the wires, what do i do with that?

Also, i noticed that one of the o2 wires is connected to the AAC valve... hmm.. this would cause idle problems im more than guessing...

this is so damn confusing!#%!@#

The light blue wire with the white stripe is the power feed for the heater and light brown wire with white stripe is the heater earth wire (pin115). The shielded wire (quote "One of the wires have like, 2 different wires surrounding the central wire.. ") is the ECU signal wire (pin29).

The light blue wire should have about batt voltage when you turn the ignition on.

The light blue wire with white stripe should be connected to one of the white wires and the other white wire connected to the light brown wire with white stripe. It shouldn’t really matter which white wire you use as they both connect to the 2 sides of a resister (according to the wiring diagram). I confirmed continuity and a resistance of about 4 ohms. The heater is used to bring the O2 sensor up to temp quickly which is useful on cold starts. The O2 sensor should work without these 2 wires connected.

The remaining black wire should be connected to the shielded wire as this is signal wire for the ECU. It is important you connect this wire if nothing else.

Hope this helps.

Ben

You are awesome! thanks heaps mate..

with the shield ground, i should just strip the shield wire down a bit more and make sure only the copper wire is touching the sensor on the o2 sensor.. my understanding of a shield wire is that it is only grounded at one end, and im guessing its gonna be grounded at the ECU.

ill go try now

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
