View Full Version : reading O2 sensor from Tech1 - AFR concerns

I have a wideband gauge that recently started show me running incredibly lean on medium to hard acceleration (20+ AFR).

Nothing feels off though. If it weren't for that gauge I would have no idea. No codes pop up, no stumble, no roughness.

I borrowed Jagpanzer's tech1 and have been looking at the mV readings from the O2 sensors. At WOT both R and L sensors jump to 800+ mV. My understanding of these sensors is that you can't use the mV reading to determine a specific AFR, but in general being 500+ mV at WOT should indicate I am at least not running lean. That makes me think the sensor for my AFR gauge is bad, or the gauge itself.

Do I have anything wrong here?

How closely should the R and L sensor mV read to each other? They seem to wander a fair bit from each other at idle and easy cruising, but at WOT they both spike and are within ~50mV to each other. At idle the L sensor seems much less stable than the R sensor.

Does your wide band sensor have a fresh air calibration routine you can run on it?

That is a good question. I'll need to dig out the manual for it.

There is, but I need to access a controller box that was buried away during installation. I'll have to dig that out to initiate the recalibration, and relocate the box for future ease of access.

Not unusual to have a rich/lean disparity between banks in idle state w drivers side being lean.
