The Oxygen Sensor is used in Lexus RX330 automobiles to check the unburned oxygen level in the exhaust gases of the automobile engine and it is important in controlling the emission levels of exhaust gases. From there, it creates a voltage signal referring to the oxygen concentration to be read by the engine control computer so as to realign the fuel injectors. This feedback mechanism helps to prolong the efficiency of the catalytic converter thus allowing the engine to run in the so called closed-loop. It is common practice to find zirconium dioxide-based Oxygen Sensors in Lexus RX330 models, and these may include both the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors. The first sensor offers immediate assessment for the tuning of the air-fuel mixture, the second one is for checking the performance of the catalytic converter. With time, these sensors may become contaminated and as a result the car emits more. For instance, instead of using 10 liters of fuel, the car may be using 15 liters because the sensors are not as efficient as they used to be. Some newer models may also feature wideband air/fuel ratio sensors which provide a much greater range of sensitivity than the narrow-band oxygen sensor used.
