AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR [SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5]

id0140q1004800


Purpose/Function

• Detects the oxygen concentration (all-range air/fuel ratio) in the exhaust gas as basic information (mainly used to determine the fuel injection amount) and sends it to the PCM as an oxygen concentration (all-range air/fuel ratio) signal.
• Because the A/F sensor has an output characteristics proportional to the actual air/fuel ratio, a detailed air/fuel ratio can be detected and compared using the HO2S, which detects the rich/lean of the oxygen concentration in relation to the theoretical air/fuel ratio.

Construction

• Installed to the exhaust manifold.

• A zirconia element has been adopted (as the detecting element) for detecting the oxygen concentration (all-range air/fuel ratio).

Operation

• The A/F sensor has an oxygen standard chamber, which is always kept at 100% of oxygen concentration, and an oxygen concentration detection chamber, where the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is detected.
• A zirconia element has the characteristic of moving oxygen when electrical current flows. The oxygen standard chamber is kept at 100% oxygen concentration using this characteristic, and by comparing it with the oxygen concentration inside the oxygen concentration detection chamber, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas can be detected.
