Function

2
Sensor measures the proportion of oxygen in the exhaust gas, sending signals to ECU which adjusts
the air-fuel ratio by changing the fuel injection time. If the proportion of oxygen is too low, it means the rich
air-fuel mixture with higher HC & CO concentration in the exhaust gas. If the proportion of oxygen is too
high, it means the lean air-fuel mixture with higher temperature and higher NOx concentration.

Sensor outputs feedback signal to ECU which keeps the air-fuel mixture near the stoichometric ratio
approximately 14.6 and forms the closed loop control system.
2. When the air-fuel mixture is near the stoichometic ratio, CO / HC / NOx are converted most efficiently.
