Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor {Primary HO2SI (Sensor 1)
t('96 - 98 Models except Dl6Y5 engine with M/Tl
The Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and signals the ECM/PCM. In operation,
the ECM/PCM receives the sjgnals from the sensor and varies the duration during which fuel is injected To stabilize the
sensor,s output, the sensor has an internal heater. The Primary HO2S (Sensor 1) is installed in the exhaust manifold.
