Take a look at this service data I saw in Mitchell 1 for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe.  Isn't this completely backwards?

We can try testing the theory by driving the sensor lean and rich.
Assuming is never a good thing.

Yes, that is a good idea. This is a 1.8 l Toyota engine. I also have a 2.4 l Toyota engine and I know it works the normal way where high is lean and low is rich. I can't imagine this little 1.8 l being different, but I can test it, to confirm.

The part about the upstream air/fuel sensor normally reading from 3.1 - 3.5V is correct enough, yeah. The rest of it is pretty backwards.

 I'm guessing the translation from Toyota service info to GM didn't go very well.

Should be: Higher voltage is lean, lower voltage is rich.

Yeah, I agree, something seems to have gotten lost in translation. I hope people out there who haven't been taught these things by Scanner Danner don't get off on a rabbit trail with that bad info.
