Diag. Code 21, 28Main Oxygen Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of th\
e exhaust gas, a three±way
catalyst is used, but for most efficient use of the three±way catalyst, the air±fuel ratio must be \
precisely
controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel \
ratio.
The oxygen sensor has the characteristic whereby its output voltage chan\
ges suddenly in the vicinity of
the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to det\
ect the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust 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 exh\
aust increases and the oxygen
sensor informs the ECU of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: O 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 ECU of the RICH condition (large electromotive
force: 1V).
The ECU judges by the electromotive force from the oxygen sensor whether th\
e air±fuel ratio is RICH or
LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the oxygen sensor causes
output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECU is unable to perform accurate \
air±fuel ratio control.
The main oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the Zirconia element. The heater is controlled by
the ECU. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust\
gas is low) current flows to
the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detectio\
n.
