Mustang GT V8-4.6L SOHC VIN X (1998)
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S)
The Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) react with the oxygen in the exhaust gases and generate a voltage based on this reaction as follows:
-
A low voltage indicates too much oxygen or a lean condition.
-
A high voltage indicates not enough oxygen or a rich condition.
The two heated oxygen sensors are located in the dual converter Y pipe below the exhaust manifolds.
