Oxygen sensor before catalytic converter: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The oxygen sensor before catalytic converter is a broadband oxygen sensor (control sensor). The broadband oxygen sensor continuously measures the residual oxygen in the exhaust gas. The fluctuating values of the residual oxygen are sent to the engine control unit as a voltage signal. The engine control corrects the mixture composition by changing the fuel injection. A new addition is the enhanced ADV LSU broadband oxygen sensor (Bosch). LSU stands for "universal oxygen sensor" and ADV for "Advanced".
