You are the ECU and I am the O2 sensor. We're connected by a straw (wire) and we can blow spit wads (electrons) at each other.

When I suck spit wads from you, I am a voltage triggered sensor. Electrons flow from negative (you/ECU) to positive electrical potential (me/sensor). I'm sending a signal to you because I'm sucking your spit wads away.

When I blow spit wads at you, I am a current triggered sensor. Electrons flow from negative (me/sensor) to positive electrical potential (you/ECU). I'm sending you resistance because the more resistance I send, the more spit wads will get blown your way.


It has to do with which way the spit wads are going. The ECU has to know whether it wil get blown or sucked


Now, does skinny and fatty each suck or blow?
