Sensor Types and Locations

This section outlines the various types of emissions sensors used in the 2019-Present Lexus ES, along with their placement within the vehicle's exhaust system. Understanding these locations is vital for diagnosis and repair.

Oxygen Sensors (O2)
  • Multiple O2 sensors are strategically placed downstream of the catalytic converter.
  • O2 sensors measure the oxygen content in the exhaust gas.
  • Variations in oxygen levels help the engine control module (ECM) adjust fuel mixture for optimal efficiency.
  • Different sensor types (heated/non-heated) are used for different locations in the exhaust system.
  • Location variations may exist based on engine variants.
Catalytic Converter Sensors
  • Sensors monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter in reducing emissions.
  • Catalytic converter sensors measure the effectiveness of the catalytic converter in converting harmful gases.
  • These sensors often work in conjunction with O2 sensors.
  • Data from these sensors helps the ECM adjust parameters for emissions control.
  • Failure of these sensors could indicate issues with the catalytic converter.

Sensor Functionality & Operating Principles

This section explains how the different types of sensors function. It details the underlying principles that govern their operation.

Lambda Probes (O2 Sensors)
  • Lambda probes measure the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust.
  • O2 sensors use electrochemical principles to detect the oxygen content.
  • The readings are used to adjust the fuel injection process in real-time.
  • Variations in the output signal identify issues with the engine's combustion process.
  • Signals from these sensors are key to maintaining proper emissions.
