Oxygen Sensor (Pre-Catalyst)
Component Location
L4GC215A
Description
The heated oxygen sensor is mounted on the front
side of Catalytic Muffler, which detects the oxygen
concentration in the exhaust gas. The heated
oxygen sensor produces a voltage that varies
between 0V and 1V. When the air/fuel ratio is lean,
the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas
increases and the front HO2S outputs a low voltage
(approximately0~0.1V). When the air/fuel ratio is
rich, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas
decreases and the front HO2S outputs a high
voltage (approximately0.8~1V). The ECM constantly
monitors the HO2S and increases or decreases the
fuel injection duration by using the HO2S signal,
which is called closed-loop fuel control operation.

Signal Wave Form
If you release the accelerator pedal suddenly after
engine running about 2600 rpm, fuel supply will stop
for short period and the O2 sensor service data will
display values 200mV or lower. When you suddenly
press on the accelerator pedal down, the voltage will
reach 0.6 ~ 1.0 V. When you let the engine idle
again, the voltage will fluctuate between 200 mV or
lower and 0.6 ~ 1.0 V. In this case, the O2sensor
can be determined as good.
