MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the Air±Fuel Ratio sensor (A/F sensor) information to regulate the air±fuel ratio close to the
stoichiometric ratio. This maximizes the catalytic converter's ability to purify exhaust gases. The sensor de-
tects oxygen levels in the exhaust gas and sends this signal to the ECM.
The inner surface of the sensor element is exposed to outside air. The outer surface of the sensor element
is exposed to exhaust gas. The sensor element is made of platinum coated zirconia and includes an inte-
grated heating element. The zirconia element generates a small voltage when there is a large difference in
the oxygen concentrations of the exhaust and the outside air. The platinum coating amplifies the voltage
generation. When heated, the sensor becomes very efficient. If the temperature of the exhaust is low, the
sensor will not generate useful voltage signals without supplemental heating. The ECM regulates the sup-
plemental heating using a duty±cycle approach to regulate the average current in the heater element. If the
heater current is out of the normal range, the sensor's output signals will be inaccurate and the ECM can
not regulate the air±fuel ratio properly.
When the heater current is out of the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction and
sets a DTC.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way cata-
lytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel ratio
must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The heated oxygen sensor has the characteristic which its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity
of the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This characteristic is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas and provide the ECM with feedback to control the air±fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the heated
oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (low voltage, i.e. less than 0.45 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio, the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas is reduced and the heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (high voltage,
i.e. more than 0.45 V). The ECM judges by the voltage output from the heated oxygen sensor whether the
air±fuel ratio is RICH or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the
heated oxygen sensor causes output of abnormal voltage, this disables the ECM for performing an accurate
air±fuel ratio control. The 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 (the temperature of the exhaust gas is
low) current flows to the heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
HINT:
The ECM provides a pulse width modulated control circuit to adjust current through the heater. The heated
oxygen sensor heater circuit uses a relay on the B+ side of the circuit.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The sensing portion of the heated oxygen sensor has a zirconia element which is used to detect oxygen
concentration in the exhaust. If the zirconia element is at the proper temperature and difference of the oxy-
gen concentration between the inside and outside surface of sensor is large, the zirconia element will gener-
ate voltage signals. In order to increase the oxygen concentration detecting capacity in the zirconia element,
the ECM supplements the heat from the exhaust with heat from a heating element inside the sensor. When
current in the sensor is out of the standard operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the heated
oxygen sensor and sets a DTC.
Example:
The ECM will set a high current DTC if the current in the sensor is more than 2.0 A when the heater is OFF.
Similarly, the ECM will set a low current DTC if the current is less than 0.3 A when the heater is ON.
