Why you should use a CAN Lambda Sensor
Posted by Tony eigenseher on
A CAN LAMBDA sensor, often referred to as an oxygen sensor, measures the level of oxygen in exhaust gases. This level is critical in obtaining the optimal air fuel mixture when tuning an engine. CAN refers to the Controller Area Network which acts as the ‘nervous system’ of a vehicle, enabling communication from one part to another. The lambda calculation determines the ratio between the amount of oxygen actually present in the exhaust compared to the amount that should have been present to obtain perfect combustion. This air fuel ratio information which the CAN Lambda provides is essential for a tuner. The fuel input, power output and air fuel ratio...
