They help determine, in real time, whether the <a href="/wiki/Air%E2%80%93fuel_ratio" title="Air–fuel ratio">air–fuel ratio</a> of a combustion engine is rich or lean. Since oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust stream, they do not directly measure the air or the fuel entering the engine, but when information from oxygen sensors is coupled with information from other sources, it can be used to indirectly determine the air–fuel ratio. <a href="/wiki/Feedback" title="Feedback">Closed-loop</a> feedback-controlled <a href="/wiki/Fuel_injection" title="Fuel injection">fuel injection</a> varies the fuel injector output according to real-time sensor data rather than operating with a predetermined (open-loop) fuel map. In addition to enabling electronic fuel injection to work efficiently, this emissions control technique can reduce the amounts of both unburnt fuel and oxides of nitrogen entering the atmosphere. Unburnt fuel is pollution in the form of air-borne hydrocarbons, while <a href="/wiki/Nitrogen_oxide" title="Nitrogen oxide">oxides of nitrogen</a> (NO<sub><i>x</i></sub> gases) are a result of combustion chamber temperatures exceeding 1300 <a href="/wiki/Kelvin" title="Kelvin">kelvins</a>, due to excess air in the fuel mixture thereby contributing to <a href="/wiki/Smog" title="Smog">smog</a> and <a href="/wiki/Acid_rain" title="Acid rain">acid rain</a>. <a href="/wiki/Volvo" title="Volvo">Volvo</a> was the first automobile manufacturer to employ this technology in the late 1970s, along with the three-way catalyst used in the catalytic converter. </p><p>The sensor does not actually measure oxygen concentration, but rather the difference between the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and the amount of oxygen in the air. Rich mixture causes an oxygen demand. This demand causes the voltage output to rise, due to transportation of oxygen ions through the sensor layer. Lean mixture causes low voltage, since there is an oxygen excess. </p><p>Modern spark-ignited combustion engines use oxygen sensors and catalytic converters in order to reduce <a href="/wiki/Automobile_emissions_control" class="mw-redirect" title="Automobile emissions control">exhaust emissions</a>. Information on oxygen concentration is sent to the engine management computer or <a href="/wiki/Engine_control_unit" title="Engine control unit">engine control unit</a> (ECU), which adjusts the amount of fuel injected into the engine to compensate for excess air or excess fuel. The ECU attempts to maintain, on average, a certain air-fuel ratio by interpreting the information gained from the oxygen sensor. The primary goal is a compromise between power, fuel economy, and emissions, and in most cases is achieved by an air–fuel ratio close to <a href="/wiki/Stoichiometry" title="Stoichiometry">stoichiometric</a>. For <a href="/wiki/Spark-ignition" class="mw-redirect" title="Spark-ignition">spark-ignition</a> engines (such as those that burn <a href="/wiki/Gasoline" title="Gasoline">gasoline</a> or <a href="/wiki/Autogas" title="Autogas">autogas</a> / <a href="/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas" title="Liquefied petroleum gas">liquefied petroleum gas</a> (LPG), as opposed to <a href="/wiki/Diesel_fuel" title="Diesel fuel">diesel</a>), the three types of emissions modern systems are concerned with are: <a href="/wiki/Hydrocarbons" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrocarbons">hydrocarbons</a> (which are released when the fuel is not burnt completely, such as when misfiring or running rich), carbon monoxide (which is the result of running slightly rich) and NO<sub><i>x</i></sub> (which dominate when the mixture is <a href="/wiki/Lean_burn" class="mw-redirect" title="Lean burn">lean</a>). Failure of these sensors, either through normal aging, the use of leaded fuels, or fuel contaminated with <a href="/wiki/Silicone" title="Silicone">silicones</a> or <a href="/wiki/Silicate" title="Silicate">silicates</a>, for example, can lead to damage of an automobile's catalytic converter and expensive repairs. </p><p>Tampering with or modifying the signal that the oxygen sensor sends to the engine computer can be detrimental to emissions control and can even damage the vehicle. When the engine is under low-load conditions (such as when accelerating very gently or maintaining a constant speed), it is operating in "closed-loop mode". This refers to a feedback loop between the ECU and the oxygen sensor(s) in which the ECU adjusts the quantity of fuel and expects to see a resulting change in the response of the oxygen sensor. This loop forces the engine to operate both slightly lean and slightly rich on successive loops, as it attempts to maintain a mostly stoichiometric ratio on average. If modifications cause the engine to run moderately lean, there will be a slight increase in <a href="/wiki/Fuel_efficiency" title="Fuel efficiency">fuel efficiency</a>, sometimes at the expense of increased NO<sub><i>x</i></sub> emissions, much higher <a href="/wiki/Exhaust_gas_temperature" class="mw-redirect" title="Exhaust gas temperature">exhaust gas temperatures</a>, and sometimes a slight increase in power that can quickly turn into misfires and a drastic loss of power, as well as potential engine and catalytic-converter (due to the misfires) damage, at ultra-lean air–fuel ratios. If modifications cause the engine to run rich, then there will be a slight increase in power to a point (after which the engine starts flooding from too much unburned fuel), but at the cost of decreased fuel efficiency, and an increase in unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust, which causes overheating of the catalytic converter. Prolonged operation at rich mixtures can cause catastrophic failure of the catalytic converter (see <a href="/wiki/Back-fire" title="Back-fire">backfire</a>). The ECU also controls the spark <a href="/wiki/Engine_timing" class="mw-redirect" title="Engine timing">engine timing</a> along with the fuel-injector pulse width, so modifications that cause the engine to operate either too lean or too rich may result in inefficient fuel consumption whenever fuel is ignited too soon or too late in the combustion cycle. </p><p>When an internal combustion engine is under high load (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Wide_open_throttle" title="Wide open throttle">wide open throttle</a>), the output of the oxygen sensor is ignored, and the ECU automatically enriches the mixture to protect the engine, as misfires under load are much more likely to cause damage. This is referred to as an engine running in "open-loop mode". Any changes in the sensor output will be ignored in this state. In many cars (with the exception of some <a href="/wiki/Turbocharged" class="mw-redirect" title="Turbocharged">turbocharged</a> models), inputs from the <a href="/wiki/Air_flow_meter" title="Air flow meter">air flow meter</a> are also ignored, as they might otherwise lower engine performance due to the mixture being too rich or too lean, and increase the risk of engine damage due to <a href="/wiki/Detonation" title="Detonation">detonation</a> if the mixture is too lean. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Function_of_an_O2_sensor">Function of an O2 sensor</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxygen_sensor&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Function of an O2 sensor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>O2 sensors provide feedback to an <a href="/wiki/Engine_computer" class="mw-redirect" title="Engine computer">engine computer</a> (ECU).

It operates by measuring the difference in oxygen between the exhaust gas and the external air and generates a voltage or changes its resistance depending on the difference between the two. </p><p>The sensors only begin to work effectively when heated to approximately 316 °C (600 <a href="/wiki/Fahrenheit" title="Fahrenheit">°F</a>), so most newer lambda probes have heating elements encased in the ceramic that bring the ceramic tip up to temperature quickly. Older probes, without heating elements, would eventually be heated by the exhaust, but there is a time lag between when the engine is started and when the components in the exhaust system come to a thermal equilibrium. The length of time required for the exhaust gases to bring the probe to temperature depends on the temperature of the ambient air and the geometry of the exhaust system. Without a heater, the process may take several minutes. There are pollution problems that are attributed to this slow start-up process, including a similar problem with the working temperature of a catalytic converter. </p><p>The probe typically has four wires attached to it: two for the lambda output, and two for the heater power, although some automakers use the metal case as ground for the sensor element signal, resulting in three wires.

This type does not generate its own voltage, but changes its <a href="/wiki/Electrical_resistance" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrical resistance">electrical resistance</a> in response to the oxygen concentration. The resistance of the titania is a function of the oxygen partial pressure and the temperature. Therefore, some sensors are used with a gas-temperature sensor to compensate for the resistance change due to temperature. The resistance value at any temperature is about 1/1000 the change in oxygen concentration. Luckily, at λ = 1, there is a large change of oxygen, so the resistance change is typically 1000 times between rich and lean, depending on the temperature. </p><p>As titania is an N-type semiconductor with a structure TiO<sub>2−<i>x</i></sub>, the <i>x</i> defects in the crystal lattice conduct the charge. So, for fuel-rich exhaust (lower oxygen concentration) the resistance is low, and for fuel-lean exhaust (higher oxygen concentration) the resistance is high. The control unit feeds the sensor with a small electric current and measures the resulting <a href="/wiki/Voltage_drop" title="Voltage drop">voltage drop</a> across the sensor, which varies from nearly 0 volts to about 5 volts. Like the zirconia sensor, this type is nonlinear, such that it is sometimes simplistically described as a <a href="/wiki/Binary_numeral_system" class="mw-redirect" title="Binary numeral system">binary</a> indicator, reading either "rich" or "lean". Titania sensors are more expensive than zirconia sensors, but they also respond faster. </p><p>In automotive applications the titania sensor, unlike the zirconia sensor, does not require a reference sample of atmospheric air to operate properly. This makes the sensor assembly easier to design against water contamination. While most automotive sensors are submersible, zirconia-based sensors require a very small supply of reference air from the atmosphere. In theory, the sensor wire harness and connector are sealed. Air that leaches through the wire harness to the sensor is assumed to come from an open point in the harness – usually the ECU, which is housed in an enclosed space like the trunk or vehicle interior. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Location_of_the_probe_in_a_system">Location of the probe in a system</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oxygen_sensor&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Location of the probe in a system"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The probe is typically screwed into a threaded hole in the exhaust system, located after the branch manifold of the exhaust system combines and before the catalytic converter. New vehicles are required to have a sensor before and after the exhaust catalyst to meet U.S. regulations requiring that all emissions components be monitored for failure. Pre- and post-catalyst signals are monitored to determine catalyst efficiency, and if the converter is not performing as expected, an alert gets reported to the user through <a href="/wiki/On-board_diagnostics" title="On-board diagnostics">on-board diagnostics</a> systems by, for example, lighting up an indicator in the vehicle's dashboard.

Heated sensor lifetime is typically 100,000 miles (160,000 km). Failure of an unheated sensor is usually caused by the buildup of soot on the ceramic element, which lengthens its response time and may cause total loss of ability to sense oxygen. For heated sensors, normal deposits are burned off during operation, and failure occurs due to catalyst depletion. The probe then tends to report lean mixture, the ECU enriches the mixture, the exhaust gets rich with carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and the fuel economy worsens. </p><p>Leaded gasoline contaminates the oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. Most oxygen sensors are rated for some service life in the presence of leaded gasoline, but sensor life will be shortened to as little as 15,000 miles (24,000 km), depending on the lead concentration. Lead-damaged sensors typically have their tips discolored light rusty. </p><p>Another common cause of premature failure of lambda probes is contamination of fuel with <a href="/wiki/Silicone" title="Silicone">silicones</a> (used in some sealings and <a href="/wiki/Grease_(lubricant)" title="Grease (lubricant)">greases</a>) or <a href="/wiki/Silicate" title="Silicate">silicates</a> (used as <a href="/wiki/Corrosion_inhibitor" title="Corrosion inhibitor">corrosion inhibitors</a> in some <a href="/wiki/Antifreeze" title="Antifreeze">antifreezes</a>).
