Abstract

An engine air/fuel control system responsive to an electrically heated exhaust gas oxygen sensor. Electrical power is supplied to the sensor by a feedback control system responsive to peak-to-peak measurement in the sensor output. Peak-to-peak measurements are averaged over a predetermined number of sample times and the resulting average value compared to a deadband. When the average measurement is above, within, or below the deadband, electrical power to the heater is, respectively, reduced, held constant, or decreased.
