Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) and
oxygen sensor control after Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), checking


Note:
Oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter
is superior to oxygen sensor control before
catalytic converter and is responsible for control
correction.

It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. enrichment) via the oxygen
sensor before catalytic converter by holding oxygen sensor control before
catalytic converter at its higher or lower point for a specific time (dwell
time). If this time is in the positive range (i.e. 50 ms), mixture is shifted in
the -enrich- direction. If it is in the negative range (e.g. -50 ms), mixture
will be shifted in the -lean- direction.

Note for display field 3:
Oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter is superior to oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter and is
responsible for control correction. It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. toward rich or lean) due to the oxygen sensor
before catalytic converter by holding oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter at its higher or lower point for a specific
time (dwell time). If this time is in the positive range (i.e. 50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -enrich- direction. If this time is in the
negative range (i.e. -50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -lean- direction.
