What is the normal millivolt range for an oxygen sensor?
1 Answers
The oxygen sensor operates normally within a voltage range of 0.1 to 0.9 millivolts. The fluctuation amplitude of the rear oxygen sensor is typically smaller than that of the front one. The specific values may vary depending on the brand, model, year, and emission requirements of the vehicle. A faster voltage frequency change indicates a better-performing sensor. If the voltage reads 0 millivolts or 1 millivolt, or shows no variation, it suggests severe aging of the oxygen sensor, necessitating immediate replacement. Under normal conditions, the front oxygen sensor's signal should be higher than that of the rear sensor. If both sensors detect identical oxygen concentration data, it indicates failure of the three-way catalytic converter.
