Wideband O2 sensor testing, P1130 (Lexus RX-300) part 1
In this first part of a two-part series, I get my hands dirty on a 2000 Lexus RX-300 with a wideband O2 sensor problem. As I show in the video, the operation of this sensor is very different to a ‘normal’ O2 sensor, and requires some different testing methods. Check out Part II for the conclusion.
