Purpose of the Oxygen Sensor Assy

The oxygen sensor is an essential component in modern vehicles' exhaust systems. Positioned strategically in the exhaust stream, its primary role is to measure the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases. This data is vital for ensuring that the engine's air-fuel mixture is optimized for the best balance of power, efficiency, and emissions.

How the Oxygen Sensor Works

When operational, the oxygen sensor continuously monitors the levels of oxygen present in the exhaust gases. It sends this information to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). Using this data, the ECU adjusts the air-to-fuel ratio, ensuring the engine runs efficiently. A perfect balance helps maintain lower emissions and improves fuel economy.

Consequences of a Broken Oxygen Sensor

If the oxygen sensor fails, it can lead to a range of issues. Common symptoms include poor fuel efficiency, increased emissions, and engine performance issues. The check engine light may illuminate, signaling a potential problem. A faulty sensor can cause the engine to run too rich or too lean, leading to potential damage over time.
