Notes on display zone 2:

  • ◆ The voltage signal "rich mixture (low level of residual oxygen)" is approx. 0.7...1.0 V.
  • ◆ The voltage signal "lean mixture (high level of residual oxygen)" is approx. 0.0...0.3 V.
  • ◆ When changing from "rich" to "lean" and back again (font=symbol charset=fontspecific code=108 TeX='\lambda ' descr='[lambda]' = 1.0) the voltage jump will change from 0.7...1.0 V to 0.0...0.3 V or back again.
  • ◆ Due to the steep voltage jumps the Lambda control cannot keep the ideal mixture composition font=symbol charset=fontspecific code=108 TeX='\lambda ' descr='[lambda]' = 1.0 constant. The control fluctuates constantly between conditions "slightly too lean" and "slightly too rich".
  • ◆ The displayed value must temporarily drop below 0.3 V and exceed 0.6 V. Displayed values below 0.45 V signifies lean, above 0.45 V rich.

→ Lambda probe voltage Ufont=symbol charset=fontspecific code=108 TeX='\lambda ' descr='[lambda]' in mV

A: High Lambda probe voltage

  • ◆ Rich mixture (excess of fuel or shortage of air)
  • ◆ Higher CO value

B: Low Lambda probe voltage

  • ◆ Lean mixture (shortage of fuel or excess air)
  • ◆ Lower CO value
