Is there a test procedure you can use checking resistance etc to see if its ok ?

I had a Clip test done on my 16v.
And that showed that my lambda wasn't giving the correct readings.
That's more of an overall check than just the lambda. though it didn't really say much else when the test was done.

Its easy for the person who owns the Clip tester, just plugs it into the diagnostic port in the fuse box. And checks the screen.
So its really a Renault / Renault specialist test.

pretty much just dealers, not many other places would have a clip

no no no it can be done piece of piss mate

Tool needed; Multimeter

4 wires going into the lambda

2 are grey and the other 2 are white and black iirc

The grey wires are heater wires, check for a voltage cant remember wether its battery voltage or 5v

The other 2 are switching wires; check for voltage it should vary constantly from about 0.1v to 5v (again i could be corrected) but the importand thing is that the voltage goes up and down as it changes from rich to lean
