Inspect the front HO2S for any silicon contamination. This contamination will be indicated by a white powdery coating and this will result in a bad false voltage signal.
Is sensor contaminated?

EURO4 - HO2S [Bank 1/Sensor1] (Binary type)
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Connect VMI to GDS and select "Oscilloscope".
Connect Channel A positive probe to Pin No.1 (Signal) and Channel A negative probe to Pin No.2 (Gorund).
Specification : Signal is switching from rich(above 0.45V) to lean(below 0.45V) a minimum of 3 times in 10 seconds

EURO5 - HO2S [Bank 1/Sensor1] (Linear type)
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
Connect VMI to GDS and select "Oscilloscope".
Connect Channel A positive probe to Pin No.6 (Pumping Current) and chassis ground.
Connect Channel A Negative probe to Pin No.4 (Current Adjust) and chassis ground.
Connect Channel B Negative probe to Pin No.1 (Nernst Voltage) and chassis ground.
Connect Channel B Negative probe to Pin No.3 (Virtual Ground) and chassis ground.
