—FRONT OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT
MALFUNCTION (FO2
—V)—
OBD0200A
DESCRIPTION:

The oxygen sensor is used to sense oxygen concentra-
tion in the exhaust gas. If the fuel ratio is leaner than the
stoichiometric ratio in the mixture (i.e. excessive amount of
air), the exhaust gas contains more oxygen. To the
contrary, if the fuel ratio is richer than the stoichiometric
ratio, the exhaust gas contains hardly any oxygen.

Therefore, examination of the oxygen concentration in
exhaust gas makes it possible to show whether the air/fuel
ratio is leaner or richer than the stoichiometric ratio.

The oxygen sensor has a zirconia tube (ceramic) which
generates voltage if there is a difference in oxygen concen-
tration between the inside and outside of the tube. Platinum
is coated on the inside and outside of the zirconia tube for
the purpose of catalysis and electrode provision. The hexa-
gon screw on the outside is grounded to the exhaust pipe,
and the inside is connected to the ECM through the har-
ness.

A ceramic heater is employed to improve performance at
low temperature.

When rich air-fuel mixture is burnt in the cylinder, the
oxygen in the exhaust gases reacts almost completely
through the catalytic action of the platinum coating on the
surface of the zirconia tube. This result is a very large dif-
ference in the oxygen concentration between the inside
and outside, and the electromotive force generated is
large.

When a lean air-fuel mixture is burnt in the cylinder,
oxygen remains in the exhaust gases even after the cata-
lytic action, and this results in a small difference in the
oxygen concentration. The electromotive force is very
small.

11. Diagnostics Chart with Trouble Code

The difference in oxygen concentration changes greatly
in the vicinity of the optimum air-fuel ratio, and hence the
change in the electromotive force is also large. By inputting
this information into the MFI control module, the air-fuel
ratio of the supplied mixture can be determined easily. The
oxygen sensor does not generate much electromotive
force when the temperature is low. The characteristics of
the electromotive force stabilize at temperature of approxi-
mately 300 to 400°C (572 to 752°F).
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
