During closed-loop engine operation, the powertrain control module continuously adjusts the air-fuel ratio based on exhaust gas composition. Which exhaust system component is responsible for measuring the concentration of unburned oxygen in the exhaust stream?
- AThermostat
- Oxygen sensorCevap
- CExhaust valve
- DFuel pressure regulator
Cevap
The oxygen sensor is the component responsible for measuring the concentration of unburned oxygen in the exhaust stream.
The oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust manifold or exhaust pipe to measure the amount of oxygen remaining in the burnt gases. Its voltage output tells the engine computer whether the air-fuel mixture is rich (low oxygen) or lean (high oxygen), allowing precise adjustments to maintain optimum catalytic converter efficiency and low emissions.
