It is suitable for testing 1 to 4 wire lambda/oxygen sensors, both heated and unheated. The device can simulate rich and lean mixtures to monitor the ECU's response. An LED display shows the crossover signal from the sensor. A wire piercing clamp is included for the positive lead, allowing for quick connection checks and confirming wire identity. Requires a 9V battery (available separately).
This guide is for automotive technicians and DIY mechanics who need to test and diagnose oxygen sensor issues. The Draper 24708 allows for testing of lambda/oxygen sensors, both heated and unheated, by simulating rich and lean mixtures. It features an LED display for monitoring the sensor signal, but it requires a separate 9V battery for operation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What types of oxygen sensors can this tester be used with?
This tester is designed for Zirconia and Titania lambda/oxygen sensors, accommodating 1 to 4 wire configurations, both heated and unheated.
Does the tester come with a battery?
No, a 9V battery is required and must be purchased separately.
How do I know if the sensor is working correctly?
Observe the LED display while simulating rich and lean conditions. A functioning sensor will show a crossover signal on the display.
What is the purpose of the wire piercing clamp?
The wire piercing clamp provides a quick and easy way to connect to the positive wire of the oxygen sensor without cutting or stripping the wire.
Can this tester diagnose all oxygen sensor failures?
No, this tester focuses on simulating rich and lean mixtures to check the sensor's response and does not cover all possible failure modes.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on.
Check the 9V battery and replace if necessary. Ensure the battery terminals are making proper contact.
No signal on the LED display.
Check the connections to the oxygen sensor. Ensure proper wiring and that the sensor is receiving power.
Inaccurate readings or simulation failures.
Verify the sensor type compatibility and ensure proper connection to the sensor's wires.
