Abstract

A method for controlling air-fuel ratio of an engine coupled to an emission control device uses an upstream linear exhaust gas sensor and a switching downstream exhaust gas sensor. During stoichiometric operation, both sensors are used for feedback control. During operation away from stoichiometry, the downstream sensor feedback is disabled.
