Technical Notes & Operating Principle
- This is a 4-wire heated planar-type oxygen sensor built to Hyundai and Kia original equipment standards. The four wires serve two independent circuits — two for the internal heater and two for the sensor signal and ground.
- The built-in heating element rapidly brings the ceramic sensing tip to operating temperature after a cold start, allowing the ECU to enter closed-loop fuel control sooner and reducing cold-start emissions.
- As an upstream (pre-catalyst / front) regulating sensor, it is installed before the catalytic converter and acts as the primary regulating probe that directly influences the ECU's fuel trim adjustments.
- The planar probe design offers faster light-off and more precise measurement than older thimble-type sensors.
- Features a 4-pin connector and a factory pre-greased thread for quick, straightforward installation.
- Cable length variations: Documented lengths for this OE number include 450 mm (FACET, HERTH+BUSS) and 550 mm (DENSO), depending on the aftermarket manufacturer. Always measure your original sensor before ordering.
- All sensors are manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment quality standards.
- Also known as: O2 Sensor, Lambda Sensor, Front Oxygen Sensor, Pre-Catalyst Sensor, Exhaust Gas Sensor.

Compatible Vehicles
This Lambda Sensor is an original equipment component used across a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Based on extensive cross-reference data, the sensor is installed in the upstream (pre-catalyst / front) position.
⚠️ Important Position Note: This is an upstream (pre-catalyst / front) oxygen sensor — installed before the catalytic converter. Do not use it in the downstream (post-catalyst) position. The downstream sensor for these applications typically uses a different part number.

Fitment Notes
- This is an upstream (pre-catalyst / before catalytic converter) oxygen sensor. It is installed before the catalytic converter and serves as the primary regulating probe for air-fuel mixture control.
- Primary applications include Hyundai i10 (2010–2013), Hyundai i20 (2008–2014), Hyundai Santa Fe (2000–2006), Hyundai Sonata (1998–2005), Hyundai Trajet (2000–2008); Kia Cee'd (2006–2012), Kia Cerato (2008–2013), Kia Soul (2009–2013), and Kia Picanto (2004–2011) with 1.0L, 1.1L, 1.2L, 1.4L, 1.6L, and selected 2.0L/2.4L/2.7L V6 petrol engines.
- How to verify: Locate your vehicle's catalytic converter. The upstream sensor is typically installed in the exhaust manifold or in the pipe immediately before the catalytic converter. If your faulty sensor is located before the converter, this part is suitable.
- Not compatible with diesel engines — diesel applications use different sensors with different calibration parameters.
- The vehicle fitment information above is a guide only. Always confirm compatibility using your vehicle's VIN or by physically inspecting your old sensor's position, connector shape, and cable length before ordering.
