The sensor is located in the exhaust system and screwed on the exhaust pipe above the catalytic converter. The connector with a retaining gasket is linked to the control unit system, is protected from water and is equipped with a wire with a path that prevents possible contact stresses.

If the sensor falls to the ground, it must be replaced.

The oxygen sensor works on the principle of an oxygen concentration chamber with solid electrolyte.

The measurement chamber surfaces are coated with microporous layers of noble metals.

The oxygen sensor downstream of the catalytic converter is Bosch LSF4 type. 2  The oxygen sensor is used by the Engine Management Node to check the catalytic converter (post Cat) operating conditions.
