D. Oxygen sensor control
The wide band oxygen sensor uses ZnO2. It produces the voltage by movement of oxygen ions when
there is oxygen concentration difference between exhaust gas and atmosphere.
If a certain voltage is applied to the sensor, the movement of oxygen ions occurs regardless of the
oxygen density. The current generated through this flow of ions, is called pumping current (IP), and the
oxygen sensor measures this value.
