Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) lsensor 1l
The Heated Oxygen Sensor {HO2S) detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and signals the ECM. In operation, theECM receives the signals from the sensor and varies the duration during which fuel is iniected. To stabilize the sensor,soutput, the sensor has an internal heater and the sensor element is coated with a catalyst. The HO2S is installed in TWChousing (818C'1, 818C5 engines) or exhaust pipe B {81881 engine).
