Wide band AFRs do not switch like traditional O2s.
They are part of the feed back loop, so they are not used until the vehicle is in closed loop.
They may become active sooner than an O2, but you'll know for sure if the PCM is using them for fuel calculations by checking the loop status.
Open loop/no
Closed loop/yes
