Essential Function of the Oxygen Sensor ?

The oxygen sensor is a pivotal element in your vehicle's exhaust system. Its primary role is to monitor the level of oxygen in the exhaust gases as they exit the engine. By comparing this data with the outside air, it ensures the engine maintains an optimal air-fuel mixture. This is crucial for efficient combustion, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy.

How the Oxygen Sensor Operates ?

Located in the exhaust manifold, this sensor sends continuous feedback to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this information to adjust the amount of fuel injected into the engine. If the mixture is too lean or too rich, it can adjust accordingly, ensuring smooth performance and minimizing harmful emissions.

Implications of a Faulty Sensor ⚠️

If the oxygen sensor fails, the engine may run less efficiently, leading to several issues. A broken sensor can result in improper air-fuel mixture balances, increased fuel consumption, and higher emissions. Additionally, it may trigger the check engine light and could even cause damage to the catalytic converter over time.
