Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Lambda Control
Lambda control is integrated in ECU and sensor input signals. After input signals are amplified, output signal adjust differential pressure regulator.
Control range of differential pressure regulator current is 0-16 mA. Regulator pressure change at 8 mA or above.
Lambda control is non-operational under these conditions: oxygen sensor not ready for operation or defective, during deceleration shut-off, under full load conditions, during acceleration enrichment, when starting engine at coolant temperatures below 60°F (15°C) or until coolant temperature reaches 105°F (40°C).
