This Lambda Sensor (Oxygen Sensor) is a genuine Original Equipment (OE) component manufactured for Mazda vehicles. The OE number LFH1-188G1 (also written as LFH1-18-8G1) is the primary reference for this sensor family, widely used across the Mazda 6 (GG/GY) platform from 2002 to 2007, as well as other Mazda models sharing the same engine architecture.
The sensor monitors oxygen content in exhaust gases and relays this data to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), ensuring the optimal air-fuel mixture is maintained for efficient combustion and reduced emissions. It features a heated, 5-wire broadband design, allowing it to reach operating temperature quickly for precise air-fuel ratio measurement across the entire lambda range.
This sensor is a direct-fit component featuring a vehicle-specific electrical connector and pre-terminated wiring, eliminating the need for cutting or splicing during installation. It is positioned before the catalytic converter (upstream / pre-catalyst) and serves as the primary regulating probe for fuel trim adjustments.

This Lambda Sensor is an original equipment component used across a range of Mazda vehicles. Based on extensive cross-reference data, the sensor is installed in the upstream (pre-catalyst / before catalytic converter) position.
⚠️ Important Position Note: This is an upstream (pre-catalyst / before catalytic converter) oxygen sensor — installed before the catalytic converter. Do not use it in the downstream (post-catalyst) position unless your vehicle's original sensor was located there. Upstream and downstream sensors are not interchangeable on most vehicles.
