It puts out a DC voltage from 0 to about 1VDC.   Normal mixtures should
read  0.5 to 0.7VDC.  Bad sensor will show no volts and the ECU will run
open loop, which ususally means rich.  Higher voltage indicates rich
mixture, low voltage is lean.

Check the archives.  I'm sure there are a bunch of posts on this topic.  I
don't have my Bentley in front of me so can't tell you the voltages for
sure.  Basically, once the sensor is hot the voltage rises as the mixture
gets richer.  (I think)... Check the archives to be sure.

Is there a way to check if the O2 is operating under normal parameters?
