(4) wire O2 sensor

Post by 8803 »

I am using a (4) wire O2 sensor. The sense and ground are shielded (White and Black) and the heater has its own power and ground. Which pin on the DB37 connector should I ground the Black shielded wire to?
Thanks for any help.

The sensor ground (black) needs to be grounded at one of the sensor returns of the db37. The heater ground should go to the engine (block, head, intake).

Ken; thanks for the help. I have more questions now. The wiring diagrams show pin 19 as a sensor ground for the (2) temperature sensors and the throttle position sensor. This will now be a 4th wire to solder to a 20 gauge pin.
1 How do you physically run the wires?
2 Should I run a 20awg wire from DB37 to a remote isolated posted and than single wires to the various sensors?
3 Also, where do I jumper the shield mesh to ground?

I just found this http://www.DIYAutoTune.com/tech_articles/grounds.html so I maybe have my questions answered.
