Oxygen sensor control,

Oxygen sensor control, function


Notes:
The oxygen sensors compare the oxygen
content of the air with residual oxygen content in
exhaust and deliver a voltage signal to the
control module.
The voltage signal "mixture rich (too little residual
oxygen)" is approx. 0.7 to 1.0 V.
The voltage signal "mixture lean (a lot of residual
oxygen)" is approx. +0.0 to 0.3 V.
At the transition from "rich" to "lean" and vice-
versa ( = 1.0) voltage will jump from 0.7 to 1.0
V to 0.0 to +0.3 V (or viceversa).
Due to the steep voltage jump, oxygen sensor
control cannot maintain the ideal mixture of =
1.0 as constant. Oxygen sensor control
constantly fluctuates back and forth between the
conditions "slightly too lean" and "slightly too
rich".

Notes:

The oxygen sensor control of the oxygen sensors behind catalytic converter (B1-S2 and B2-S2) are not active at certain
operation points without engine load, that means that the third position of the oxygen sensor controls behind catalytic
converter can fluctuate between 0 and 1.
The first position of the 3 digit indication (heating) fluctuates between 0 and 1 at certain operation points.

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 oxygen sensor 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 = B1-S1 not OK.

Note for display field 3:
The oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter overrules the oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter. 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

If oxygen sensors have not yet reached their operating temperature, there will be no indication in display fields 1 and 3,
i.e. they will both be empty. (increase engine speed to obtain specified values).
After reaching operating temperature of the two oxygen sensors, a resistance of less than 0.9 kOhm must be indicated in
display fields 1 and 3.
Do not continue test until a resistance of less than 0.9 kOhm is indicated in display fields 1 and 3.
At certain points of operation, the ECM "pulses" oxygen sensor heating. This means that oxygen sensor heating is
switched on and off at these points. It is entirely possible that the specified value "Htng. bef. Cat. OFF" or "Htng. beh. Cat.
OFF" will appear in display fields 2 and 4
