15.3 Using Different Oxygen Sensors


Almost any oxygen sensor can be used with the E6S. The sensor available from Haltech

TM

is

an NGK heated four wire oxygen sensor. This is the preferred sensor to use due to its
temperature stability and the switch-like characteristic of its transfer function. Other sensors
such as three-wire and single-wire units may also be used, but be wary of slow reaction times
and poor repeatability with cheaper sensors. Wide-band oxygen sensors may also be used, and
can be particularly useful as a tuning tool, both via the engine data page or in datalogging.
[When viewing O2 sensor voltage readings from a datalog, remember to allow for sensor
response time.]
