Anybody know how to test if an O2 sensor is bad
I read the Helms and it says to check the bottom two contacts on the female end of the O2 sensor with an ohm meter. I get nothing, but I wanted to make sure that was correct.
Anybody got any ideas?

what makes you think its bad?
too rich/lean mixture ?
you normally skin the wires and check the voltage ..
if there's nothing, it could mean the sensor is burnt ..
eitherway whats the cost of an O2 sensor ?
wait .. dont you have one before and one after the cat ?
im confused
OBD2 came in the early '90 if im not mistaken

I'm getting code 0141 indicating the rear 02 sensor is bad. I tested it like the Helms said and I think it's bad, just wanted to verify before I blew $80.

Yeah I took it out and wiped it down with a clean dry cloth. It was white on the end and pretty black at the base of it. Guess I'll just order one if I don't hear from anyone else.
