October 30: LEMON manuals on a temporary server, it is slow and having issues, download the manuals you need! Later in November we will switch back to the fast server.

Oxygen (O2) Sensor

Mounted in the exhaust manifold, the O2 sensor monitiors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream. The sensor generates a weak voltage which varies with exhaust gas oxygen content.

Increased oxygen content creates a lean mixture, resulting in a low output voltage. Decreased oxygen content creates a richer mixture, resulting in a higher output voltage. ECM monitiors these voltages to determine correct air/fuel ratio.
