5. FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM MOVIE S 150i Oxygen Sensor Functional description, type and construction It uses DC-8-16V Battery Power with 4 pins: one power pin, one heater pin, one signal output pin and one earthing pin. The sensor is installed to t he front pipe of exhaust pipe to detect the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas for determining if ECU shall instruct to increase or reduce fuel supply for meeting waste gas emission standard of environment legislation. When the temperature of exhaust is less than 350, the sensing portion can not be activated and there is no signal output, and ECU will turn on the heater inside sensor to accelerate the temperature rise of sensor and cause the Oxygen Sensor to work normally. In normal hours, the impedance of heater is 8 +/- 1.5 ohm and can be told with multimeter. Output of sensor after the engine is warmed up is A/F <14.7 (mixing ratio too thick) >0.7V A/F > 14.7 (Mixing ratio too thin) <0.18V Function: Detecting the oxygen concentration in waste gas, the slight voltage signal generated will be passed t o computer to determine the level of thickness of mixing ratio to feed back to mixing ratio control and catalyst transformer coordination. Close Loop System Sensor ECU Regulator Engine Exhaust Pipe (O2 Sensor) In Idle O2 Sensor at the front Modify A/F pipe of Exhaust pipe What is Close Loop System When Electronic Injection System is meeting the following two conditions, it is called Close Circuit System: with O2 Sensor O2 sensor starts to work When at Close Loop status, O2 Sensor start to detect the Oxygen concentration in waste gas and feed back the signal to microcomputer control unit for modifying fuel injection to attain the air/Fuel ratio for full combustion: Air/Fuel ratio = 14.7 (equivalent to mixture of 14.7 air and 1 kg fuel) 5-34
