Lambda regulation, general points
The mixture composition is controlled within the narrowest limits around lambda= 1 in order to achieve high conversion of the exhaust gases (exhaust gas conversion) in the catalytic converters.

For this purpose, the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) reads the following sensors:
- Hot film MAF sensor (B2/5), engine load
- Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)
- LH and RH O2 sensors upstream of CAT, oxygen sensor signals

Lambda regulation function sequence
The O2 sensors upstream of the CAT react to the oxygen content in the exhaust and send the corresponding voltage signals to the ME SFI control unit. The control unit then varies the mixture composition by adjusting the injection time of the fuel injection valves (Y62), so that lambda=1. This process is repeated constantly (control loop).

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit alters the mixture composition with a time delay in order to prevent any risk of jerking.

Control of the air/fuel ratio is much faster by using a wideband oxygen sensor (continuous signal of 2 0.7 to 4.0) as O sensors upstream of CAT.

Component Identification:

Example:
Assuming a leaner fuel-air mixture is produced. This has the consequences that the oxygen sensor voltage drops and the MESFI control unit compensates for the leaner mixture by enriching it accordingly (extending the injection time).
This makes it possible to achieve a fuel-air mixture of approximately lambda= 1.
The lambda control factor indicated with the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS) changes towards +25 %.
The more the lambda control factor moves in the direction +25%, the leaner is the fuel-air mixture and the greater is the enrichment of the mixture on the part of the ME control unit.
