Oxygen (O2) Sensor
NOTE:
For additional oxygen sensor information, see TITANIA OXYGEN SENSOR TESTING
article.
Oxygen sensor is equipped with a heating element that keeps sensor at proper operating temperature at all times. Oxygen sensor is located in exhaust pipe.
The ECU receives sensor voltage signal which varies with oxygen content in exhaust gas. Signal is used by ECU as reference for setting air/fuel mixture ratio. ECU varies voltage to injector both to compensate for battery voltage fluctuations and to change duration of injector opening for control of air/fuel mixture.
