Kia Cadenza: Engine Control System / Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Description and Operation

Kia Cadenza YG 2016-2025 Service Manual / Engine Control / Fuel System / Engine Control System / Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Description and Operation

Description

Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) consists of the zirconium and the alumina and is installed on upstream and downstream of the Warm-up Catalytic Converter (WCC).

After it compares oxygen consistency of the atmosphere with the exhaust gas, it transfers the oxygen consistency of the exhaust gas to the ECM. When A/F ratio is rich or lean, it generates approximately 1V or 0V respectively. In order that this sensor normally operates, the temperature of the sensor tip is higher than 370°C (698°F). So it has a heater which is controlled by the ECM duty signal.

When the exhaust gas temperature is lower than the specified value, the heater warms the sensor tip.
