two electrodes provide an output voltage corresponding to the quantity of oxygen in the exhaust relative to that in the atmosphere.
The tip reads the exhaust and the outer body reads the outside atomshere. The two electrodes are the 02 body and the tip.
yes Im very aware that electrons go from (-) to (+) such as lightining travles from the ground to the sky.

Ok this sucking and blowing thing sounds gay, why dont we just say Send and Receive
control unit feeds the sensor with a small electrical current and measures the resulting voltage across the sensor

the skinny is a Titania sensor which has a ceramic element
Zirconia sensor is based off of the Nernst Cell.
So thats how i know the skinny is not a Nernst Cell
