CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the Co, Hc and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way catalytic
converter is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel ratio must be pre-
cisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoi-
chiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and
provide feedback to the computer for control of the air fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the oxygen sen-
sor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the exhaust
gas is reduced and the oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromotive force: V).
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH or LEAn
and controls the injection duration accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes an output
of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The main heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled
by the ECM. When the intake air volume is low t(the temperature of the exhaust has is low) current flows to
the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE (Only for California specification vehicles)
HINT: If diagnostic trouble code º21º is output, check the main heated oxygen sensor (Fr) circuit.
If diagnostic trouble code º28º is output, check the main heated oxygen sensor (Rr) circuit.
Check voltage between terminals HT1, HT2 of engine control module
connector and body ground.
Connect SST (check harness ªAº).
