1.2L REVOTRON ENGINE

SENSOR STANDALONE DIAGNOSIS

Use multi-meter to check for signal voltage at pin1

and pin3.

Supply Voltage: - 5V DC.

Signal Voltage:

0.4 V at 10 kpa (absolute)

4.65 V at 115 kpa (absolute)

Use TATA diagnostic tool to check for 'Intake

manifold pressure and Air temperature' values.

1. Give 5V Power Supply to the Sensor Supply

pin and Ground to the Sensor Ground Pin

2. Keep the sensor in a pressurized environment

of 50 bar.

3. Measure the Voltage between the Sensor

pressure Signal Pin and Ground, it should be

2.1 Volts approx.

4. Check the resistance between the Sensor

Temperature signal pin and EMS ECU, at

Room temperature of 30°C, it should be ~1080

Ohms.

II. LAMBDA SENSOR

COMPONENT DETAILS

The oxygen sensor operates on the principle of

galvanic oxygen concentration cell (Nernst cell)

with solid electrolyte (Nernst's principle). The

ceramic sensing element is a conductor of oxygen

ions from a temperature of 350°C. A heater is

integrated on the sensing element. It is placed

into the exhaust manifold. The sensing element

compares the residual oxygen content in the

exhaust gas with the oxygen content in the

reference atmosphere (air surrounding the

sensing element). This gives an output voltage

between 100mV (lean exhaust gas) to 800mV

(rich exhaust gas), depending on whether the

exhaust gas is lean or rich.

COMPONENT LOCATION

The lambda sensor is mounted at the input and

output of the catcon as upstream and downstream

lambda sensor.
