Component Description: Description
The A/F sensor 1 is mounted on the exhaust manifold, and transmits the signal of detected oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas to ECM.
While O2 sensor changes output voltage by ON/OFF (rich/lean) mode within a narrow range of the stoichiometric ratio, the A/F sensor changes output voltage between 0 - 4 V for a wide range of air fuel ratio.
ECM judges the state of air fuel ratio with this signal, and precisely controls air fuel ratio to match the stoichiometric ratio. Also, the sensor is equipped with heater for maintaining the activated state.
