Primary Wideband (LSU 4.9 / ADV) vs Rear Narrowband O2
Turbo-petrol and diesel ECUs use an upstream planar wideband Lambda sensor (Sensor 1) for real-time closed-loop Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) fuel control, and a downstream narrowband sensor (Sensor 2) strictly to monitor catalytic converter oxygen-storage efficiency (P0420 / P0430).
Practical Workshop & Calibration Engineering Application
Stage 2 Catalyst Off disables only the downstream Sensor 2 efficiency monitor while preserving 100% primary wideband closed-loop fueling safety.
