Actually the entire Process is a little strange....
It's not strange if one understands what the flow chart is trying to accomplish in each step. It's basically a troubleshooting methodology for finding out why the engine isn't in fuel control when under conditions where it should be.
The test is used to determine:
1) Whether the O2 sensor is cross counting at all.
2) If it's not is the sensor itself at fault or is it because the system is unbalanced full lean or rich and if so in which direction.
3) Will the O2 sensor (and thus Vf) respond to enrichment using the coolant sensor signal (the chart should read "another cooled water temp sensor" btw, not "coded"). If not the system is either lean from other causes or the O2 sensor is bad.
Note the "repair over lean" and "repair over rich" decisions. Also note the "repair relevant diagnostic codes". One must understand what will unbalance the system to go beyond those levels.

...Let the car warm up to Normal Operating temps, Jump the VF and E1...
Nowhere does the chart say to short Vf to ground and since it wouldn't make sense to do so I'm going to assume you're guilty of a typo.
Lastly, assuming everything else is working, the thing most likely to cause this is an incorrect load (AFM) signal.
Good luck. I'm guessing that unless your harness is really screwed up this is unlikely to be a wiring problem and even then it should be repairable. Hope I'm wrong but either way it'll be nice to have a new harness...
