Role of the injection ECU according to the data received : To determine the fuel / air mixture (richness) Richness adjustment Description The oxygen sensor informs almost continuously the ECU about the air-fuel mixture ratio . The "rich" or "weak" mixture information is given by 0 to 1 V voltages : Weak mixture = 0,1 Volts Rich mixture = 0,9 Volts A heating device placed inside the sensor enables it to rapidly reach its operating temperature ( + 300 °C) . Electrical features The sensor is equipped with a 4 way caliper connector . Allocation of the connector channels : Channel 1 : +12 volts supply Channel 2 : Oxygen sensor heating control Channel 3 : - signal Channel 4 : + signal |
