The oxygen sensor measures the amount of or lack of oxygen in the burnt exhaust exiting the engine in the exhaust pipe. It will then send a voltage signal to the vehicle computer. The computer uses that signal to control the fuel metering coming into the engine to try and keep the air/fuel ratio at 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel. This is for emissions and economy reasons.
