^ Left and right O2 sensors downstream of catalytic converter (G3/5, G3/6) defect-free

Two-sensor control, general points
The two-sensor control is used to monitor the function of the LH and RH O2 sensors upstream of the catalytic converter (G3/3, G3/4) and the effectiveness of the firewall catalytic converter.

To do this, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) reads the following sensors:
- LH and RH O2 sensors upstream of catalytic converter, oxygen sensor signals
- LH and RH O2 sensors downstream of catalytic converter, oxygen sensor signals

Two-sensor control function sequence
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit determines the lambda mean value using the signals from the oxygen sensors downstream of the catalytic converter. This value is compared with a stored value for optimum exhaust emissions.

If the deviation is too large after a number of measurements, a correction value is determined for the lambda control.

The correction value (value with new LH and RH O2 sensors upstream of the catalytic converter is about 0) is used to compensate for aging of the O2 sensors upstream of catalytic converter, within certain limits.

If the correction value exceeds the specified limit value, the O2 sensors upstream of catalytic converter must be replaced.
The correction value depends on the performance map, and is applied by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit by adapting the injection time of the fuel injection valves (Y62).

If the specified limit value is exceeded, or the plausibility check on the oxygen sensor signals (upstream or downstream of catalytic converter) is negative, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit actuates the engine diagnosis indicator lamp on the instrument cluster (A1) (A1e58) (or with code (494) USA version, the CHECK ENGINE indicator lamp (A1e26)) over the engine compartment CAN (CAN C).

The exceeded limit value is stored in the fault memory by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit and can be read out and deleted using the DAS system.
