Signal Waveform
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The HO2S requires a minimum temperature to provide a closed loop fuel control system. So HO2S contains a heater element to reduce its warming-up time and ensure its performance during all driving conditions. The HO2S heater should be always ON after engine start. The ECM controls this heater element by duty cycle. The main relay supplies voltage to the heater and the ECM provides a ground circuit for activating the heater. The illustration is the signal waveform at idle.
