How do you test a lambda sensor with a multimeter?

How do you test a lambda sensor with a multimeter?

Checking the lambda sensor with the multimeter The multimeter is connected parallel to the signal line (black cable, see circuit diagram) of the lambda sensor. The measuring range of the multimeter is set to 1 V or 2 V. After the engine is started, a value between 0.4 – 0.6 V appears on the display (reference voltage).

What kind of multimeter is needed for MAF sensor?

All you need (to diagnose and troubleshoot the MAF sensor) is a digital multimeter capable of reading Hertz (Hz) frequency. This type of GM mass air flow (MAF) sensor is used in a lot of GM makes and models, to find out if this article applies to your specific GM (Cadillac, Chevy, Buick, GMC) vehicle, take a look at the ‘Applies To’ list.
