**Oxygen Sensor Identification (updated) by James Lane :: Curriculum

Automotive General Services Technician Model

In this lesson, students will be identifying zirconium oxygen sensors.

Student will be able to identify early model zirconium type oxygen sensors that may be found on American and Asian vehicles.

Needed items

Various oxygen sensors from early American, Asian and European vehicles

9 each

3 early GM 1 wire

3 early Asian 1 wire

3 various types 1, 2, 3 or 4 wire American, Asian and European

Various oxygen sensors will be used to demonstrate the early styles of various manufacturer with un heated and heated zirconium oxygen sensors.

2 exhaust manifolds for sensor mounting demonstration

2 catalytic converters and exhaust pipes for sensor mounting demonstration

NATEF task sheets identification speciality area A-8 and L-1

Oxygen sensor identification - Hooks / Set
I will pass oxygen sensors around to teams of (3) students each to think pair share the visual differences between sensors.

Then, I will go through the Oxygen Sensors Power Point with students.

We will watch an oxygen sensor vidoe and follow along with a NATEF task sheet.

Closure/collaboration - Closure
During the closure activity, the student teams will be asked to clean their work areas and be prepared for the following lab activity to apply what they have learned on the shop vehicles.
