Sedona V6-3.8L (2009)
Oxygen Sensor: Testing and Inspection
DESCRIPTION
Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) consists of zirconium and alumina and is installed on upstream and downstream of the Manifold Catalyst Converter
(MCC). After it compares oxygen consistency of the atmosphere with the exhaust gas, it transfers the oxygen consistency of the exhaust gas to the PCM.
When A/F ratio is rich or lean, it generates approximately 1V or 0V respectively. In order that this sensor normally operates, the temperature of the
sensor tip is higher than 370°C (698°F). So it has a heater which is controlled by the PCM duty signal. When the exhaust gas temperature is lower than
the specified value, the heater warms the sensor tip.
