It monitors the exhaust for the proper air to fuel mixture of 14.7 to 1. It sends a signal to the computer to add or subtract fuel to keep this air/fuel mixture as close as it can be for maximum performance and fuel economy. All 02 sensors on all vehicles perform this function.

It measures the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust and reports the difference between the readings from the pre and post catalytic sensors to give tuning information to the engine control computer, adjustments are made to timing and fuel based on the readings.
