Note for display field 2:  
Calculated value from engine speed and engine load. 
Note for display fields 3 and 4:  
Period duration is the time between two voltage jumps (e.g. rich - lean - rich) and is therefore a measurement of the aging 
condition of the oxygen sensor. If the specified time is exceeded, display field 4 will indicate =B2-S1 not OK.

Notes:  
     
Oxygen sensor control behind the catalytic 
converter is responsible for final control 
correction. It is the primary sensor and can 
override the signal from the oxygen sensor 
control before the catalytic converter.. 
    
Component location of harness connectors   Page 24
-5  
It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. enrichment) via the 
oxygen sensor before catalytic converter by holding the oxygen 
sensor control before catalytic converter at its higher or lower limit for 
a specific time (duration). 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.
