WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The HO2S provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with voltage and frequency information related to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. (Refer to the PCM INPUTS for a description of how the HO2S operates.)
