The purpose of the O2 sensor heater is to rapidly heat up the O2 sensors to their operating temperature while preventing damage to the sensor ceramic as a result of controlled heating power.

The sensor heater is actuated by the engine control unit through ground. The performance of the sensor heater at operating temperature amounts to:

18 w on Engine 104, 111, 119, 120 and 112, 113 with ME2.0 12 w on Engine 166.

7 W on Engine 137, engine 111EVO and 112, 113 with ME 2.8 as of 06/00

The voltage for the sensor heater is supplied by the:

The current in the cold state is increased by approximately 4 times. At coolant temperatures below approx. 20 °C and at high engine speeds, the sensor heater is switched off.

Engine 112, 113 

The sensor heaters for the left and right O2 sensors are connected in parallel in the ME-SFI control unit.

Engine 119 

The sensor heaters for the left and right O2 sensors are connected in parallel.

ENGINE 120 

The sensor heaters for the left and right O2 sensors are assigned to the respective engine control unit.

Engine 137 

Each sensor heater has its own, short-circuit proof output stage in the engine control unit with diagnosis. As a protection for the ceramic, the sensor temperature upstream of TWC is limited to approx. 350 °C in the condensation phase after cold start. After this, the temperature is controlled to approx. 700 °C. An exhaust temperature is determined from various engine operating data for this purpose and the sensor heated accordingly.

Different values apply to the O2 sensor heaters downstream of TWC.
