The Oxygen Sensor of Nissan Pathfinder monitors exhaust for unburned oxygen and sends a voltage signal to the engine computer to help in air fuel mixture. The Oxygen Sensor, which is constructed of threaded steel and has holes in it, contains a zirconium dioxide element with platinum electrodes. These electrodes compare the oxygen in the exhaust with that in the outside air. When the mixture is rich, the sensor generates a voltage of up to 0.9V. When the mixture is lean, the sensor generates a voltage of about 0.1V. The inbuilt heater rapidly heats the sensing tip to a temperature of 600°F, allowing prompt commencement of closed loop operation. All Nissan Pathfinders deploy at least two sensors, one before and one after the catalytic converter. V6 versions employ at least four so that each cylinder bank has an upstream and downstream unit. The computer relies on the cycling feedback from the upstream Oxygen Sensor. This feedback allows the computer to lengthen or shorten injector pulse width. The downstream Oxygen Sensor is applied to check converter efficiency. Aging, contamination, or failure of a Nissan Pathfinder Oxygen Sensor can slow response, raise emissions, and trigger trouble codes that light the check engine lamp, requiring replacement to restore Nissan Pathfinder performance.
