Waveform notes. The lambda sensor is also referred to as the Oxygen (O 2) sensor plays a very important role in the control of exhaust emissions on a catalytic equipped vehicle. The lambda sensor is fitted into the exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter.The sensor will have 4 electrical connections and it reacts to the oxygen content in the exhaust system and will produce an oscillating voltage between 0.5 volt (lean) to 4.0 volts, or above (rich) when running correctly.aveform notes.
