Circuit Description

The stop lamp switch is normally opened. When the ignition switch ON and brake ON, the battery voltage is
supplied to the ECM. A scan tool should display ON when brake pedal is depressed and should read OFF with
brake pedal released.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

The purpose of the catalytic converter is to convert
the three pollutants of carbon monoxide (CO),
hydrocarbons (HC)  and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
contained in the exhaust of gasoline engines, into the
harmless compounds of water (H2O), carbon dioxide
(CO2) and nitrogen (N2).

The catalytic converter contains acatalyst, a word
coming from the Greek and which designates the
element essential for catalyst which triggers chemical
reactions without itself being consumed.

These catalysts in the 3-way catalytic converter are
the rare metals platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh).

The catalytic converter consists essentially of three
main elements. The exhaust gases flow through the
catalytic converter  and, in so doing, coming into
contact with rare metals (Pt and Rh).

The following chemical reaction are produced.

OXYGEN SENSOR

YAD1F570

The oxygen sensor is unique amongthe engine control
sensors because is acts like a battery and is able to
generate its own low voltage signal. It is located the
exhaust system and monitors the amount of oxygen in
the exhaust stream  and provides feedback to the
Engine Control Module (ECM).

The electrically heated oxygen sensor warms up quickly
and remains hot, even at idle when the exhaust manifold
may cool down.

The ECM applies a reference voltage of 450 mv to the
oxygen sensor, the ECM compares this reference
voltage with the voltage generated by oxygen sensor.
The amount of voltage the oxygen sensor generates is
proportionate to the difference between the amount of
oxygen in the outside air and the exhaust gases. The
atmosphere contains about 21% oxygen. The exhaust
from a rich air/fuel ratio contains almost no oxygen.
With a large difference betweenthe amounts of oxygen
containing the two surface, the sensor generates less
voltage.

YAD1F580

When the exhaust gas is rich (below 14.7:1), the voltage
output is high, above 450 mv. When the exhaust gas
is lean (above 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio), the sensor’s
voltage output is low, below 450 mv.

The ECM uses oxygen sensor information for:

•

Open loop / closed loop criteria

•

Ideal air / fuel ratio
