Heated Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

The heated oxygen sensors (HO2S):

-

are located in the exhaust system

-

react with the oxygen in the exhaust gases and generate a voltage based on this reaction.

A low voltage indicates too much oxygen or a lean condition.

A high voltage indicates not enough oxygen or a rich condition.
