4.0 Lambda Sensor Installation
Installation angle must be inclined at least 10° towards horizontal, (electrical connection
upwards) up to a maximum of 75°. This prevents the collection of liquids between sensor
housing and sensor element during the cold start phase.
The angle against the exhaust gas stream should be aimed as 90°. Maximum inclination
should be 90°+15° (protection tube towards gas stream) or 90°-30°.
NOTE:
NEVER
mount the sensor directly on the horizontal or within 10 degrees of the
horizontal. Doing so will result in intermittent sensor shutdown
.
Also route the sensor cable to avoid high moisture locations
–
just a small amount of
moisture is enough to provide a conductive path within the connector that will upset
measurement from the sensor.
Winter and salted roads compound this issue. Always check for a cracked or broken
connector when strange results occur.
