The oxygen sensor installed on the exhaust manifold
makes use of the principles of a solid electrolyte oxygen
concentration cell. The oxygen concentration cell is
characterized by a sharp change of the output voltage in
the vicinity of the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio.
Using such characteristics, the oxygen sensor senses
the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and feeds
it to the engine control unit. The engine control unit then
determines if the air/fuel ratio is richer or leaner as
compared to the stoichiometric ratio and provides
feedback control to adjust the air/fuel ratio to the
stoichiometric ratio where the emission purification rate
of the three-catalyst convector is optimum.
