The DENSO 234-4070 is a light duty oxygen sensor. It monitors the air/fuel mixture under idle, moderate acceleration and cruise conditions. Under heavy acceleration, the sensor goes into open loop, and the engine management computer ignores its signal.
Oxygen sensors are also called Lambda sensors. Earlier fuel injection systems used one oxygen sensor in the exhaust to maintain closed-loop air/fuel control. Today's engines may use as many as four sensors, which monitor exhaust gas oxygen content and catalytic converter efficiency.
To work properly, these sensors must meet OE standards within very close tolerances. DENSO First Time Fit® oxygen sensors are designed to meet those tolerances. A malfunctioning or incorrectly calibrated sensor can hurt driveability and turn on the malfunction indicator.
