xviii. LAMBDA SENSOR

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.

SENSOR LOCATION

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

1. Loose/ Damaged Connections between

Sensor and EMS ECU.

2. Check for back out of pins at both Sensor

connector and ECU connector.

3. Check for damage of pins at both sensor

connector and ECU connector.
