SENSORS

Delphi Wide Range Oxygen Sensor

The Delphi Wide Range Oxygen Sensor is an integral component in
a gasoline or diesel engine management system, helping provide
accurate engine control and system diagnostics. It measures the
air⁄fuel ratio of exhaust gases over a wide lambda range. Its five-
wire, two-cell design enables higher signal resolution with greater
accuracy. An integrated heater and alumina/zirconia element
facilitate a fast light-off, allowing earlier closed-loop operation
compared to conventional conical oxygen sensors.

Benefits

• High signal resolution and low pressure sensitivity help provide

precise engine control
• Integral heater enables faster light-off for earlier closed-loop
operation
• Unique planar element design enhances thermal shock resistance
• Fast response helps improve fuel economy
• Industry-leading poison-resistant coating helps achieve better
durability and truer reading of exhaust gases Delphi's Wide Range Oxygen Sensor with
planar element technology helps provide
accurate engine control and system
Typical OSL Output Curve diagnostics.

Note: The Delphi Wide Range Oxygen Sensor characteristic output is linear to percent oxygen in the exhaust.

Typical Applications

The Delphi Wide Range Oxygen Sensor is an integral part of diesel and gasoline engine management
systems where additional control is desirable. With different shielding options, the sensor can be tailored
for specific applications in passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and other engine
applications.

Performance Advantages

Designed to accommodate a variety of fuel applications, the poison-resistant coating of the Delphi Wide
Range Oxygen Sensor helps improve accuracy and durability in harsh exhaust environments, while
minimizing deterioration of the sensor characteristics over time. Its uniquely designed planar element
technology and integral heater enhance resistance to thermal shock and help the sensor achieve fast light-
off to help manufacturers meet current and more stringent future emissions regulations. The sensor's
greater accuracy and a fast transient response time help provide greater engine control, and help improve
fuel economy and drivability.
