- Overview of wideband Air/Fuel sensors:
- When Sensor # 1 voltage rises above 450 mV (rich mixture), the PCM
reacts by providing a negative (-) current flow on Sensor # 2 to move
(pump) the O2 ions in the opposite direction, back towards
the Diffusion Chamber, thus limiting the O2 ion flow through Sensor
#1.
- This action brings Sensor #1 voltage down to 450 mV.
