GF07.61-P-4022AMG ME-SFI Lambda Control, Function
The mixture composition is controlled within the narrowest possible limits around (Lambda)= 1 in order to achieve a high conversion of exhaust gases
(exhaust gas conversion) in catalytic converters.
The O2 sensors upstream of TWC react to the oxygen share in the exhaust and transmits a corresponding voltage signal to the ME-SFI [ME] control
unit. Consequently, the mixture composition is modified by control of the injection quantity, so that (Lambda) =1 is obtained. This process is repeated
constantly (control loop).
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit alters the mixture composition with a time delay in order to prevent any risk of jerking.
Control of the air/fuel ratio is much faster by using a wideband oxygen sensor (continuous signal of (Lambda) 0.7 to 4.0) as O2 sensors upstream of
TWC.
The function of the lambda control (closed-loop operation) is dependent upon:
-
Coolant temperature at start (dependent on the particular operating condition)
-
Operating temperature of the O2 sensors upstream of TWC
-
Engine idling or partial-load range
-
Deceleration fuel shutoff not active.
