System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ECM monitors oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas which has passed the TWC by HO2S. When the catalyst is functioning properly, the variation cycle of HO2S output voltage (oxygen concentration) is slower than that of A/F sensor output signal because the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas is stored in TWC.
