Fig. 12 Downstream Heated Oxygen Sensor

DOWNSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR

The downstream heated oxygen sensor threads into the outlet pipe at the rear of the catalytic convertor (Fig. 12). The downstream heated oxygen
sensor input is used to detect catalytic convertor deterioration. As the convertor deteriorates, the input from the downstream sensor begins to match
the upstream sensor input except for a slight time delay. By comparing the downstream heated oxygen sensor input to the input from the upstream
sensor, the PCM calculates catalytic convertor efficiency.
