Note:

The oxygen sensor control for oxygen sensors behind the catalytic converter (B1-S2 and B2-S2) are without engine load
at certain operating conditions not active, that means, the third place of oxygen sensor control for oxygen sensors behind
the catalytic converter can fluctuate between 0 and 1.
The first position of the 3 digit display (Heater) fluctuate at certain operating conditions between 0 and 1.

Note for display field 2:
Calculated value from engine speed and engine load.
Note for display fields 3 and 4:
Period duration is the time between two voltage jumps (e.g. rich - lean - rich) and is therefore a measurement of the aging
condition of the oxygen sensor. If the specified time is exceeded, display field 4 will indicate =B2-S1 not OK.
