Default lamba sensor (electrical) question

A cosworth lamba sensor has 4 wires (if u dont know)

I got 2 whites for power and earth. And I've got a black and a grey.

Does anyone know which is earth and which is signal. I would gather black is earth but I was told it was signal so i though i'd ask the pro's

The two whites are for the HEATER, ie one is live one is earth(heater only)
The black is SIGNAL WIRE, the Grey is earth.
This shows it to be a ZIRCONIA SENSOR.
Ford also use another four wire which is BLACK, RED, YELLOW, WHITE, but these are 0-5 VOLTS, where as your one is 0.1-0.9 VOLTS.
hope this helps.
