Default O2 sensors

How many O2 sensors are there on a 996? Does anybody know how to monitor them via an OBD2 device?

I tried monitoring the SAE PIDs, but I didn't capture any data.

Thanks.

You need a Durametric to read their voltages. An OBDII scanner can only return mode $5 O2 sensor test data amd the short/long term fuel trims.

Thank you! Now I can stop looking for PIDs...

I guess I'll just rely on the fuel trim data.

Some more expensive Actron OBD2 scanner can read 100+ PID values real time, including the O2 sensors. They are easier to use than the Durametric but not as powerful. They read the values but do not graph it.
