WS6 Oxygen Sensor On Vehicle

Oxygen Sensor On Vehicle 

The oxygen sensor in the Honda Accord that i used, was located on the headers on the exhaust manifold. It was a Zirconia switching sensor type with one wire.

2500 RPM

I back-probed the O2 sensor wire with a pin and connected it with an oscilloscope. It produced a AC pattern. The range is .9 volts to 0 volts. If the signal is not cycling normally, the signal will stay roughly this is because the system is still in open loop or has a leak o some sort. 

Idle RPM


The voltage range 0.008 volts to 0.9 volts. After calculations, the average voltage i worked out was 12 volts. The signal will show either a constant rich or lean situation or less cross counts.

O2 Rich 


The sensor voltage when as high as 1 volt. If its not normal we may see that we don't get the high part for as low or it may cycle, this will give as faulty signals.
