Air-Fuel Ratio Sensor ?️

The air-fuel ratio sensor is a pivotal component in modern vehicles, acting as the vigilant guardian of the engine's health and efficiency. By monitoring the mixture of air and fuel in the engine, it ensures optimal combustion, leading to improved performance and reduced emissions. This sensor is indispensable for maintaining a vehicle's efficiency in both fuel consumption and emission standards.

Functionality ⚙️

Installed typically in the exhaust manifold, this sensor measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. Its readings help the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust the air-fuel mixture to the ideal ratio. This delicate balance is crucial for maximizing power output while minimizing fuel consumption and pollutants. An accurately functioning sensor ensures that your engine remains smooth and efficient.

Consequences of a Faulty Sensor ?

If the air-fuel ratio sensor fails, several problems can arise. A malfunction can lead to poor engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and elevated emission levels. The dashboard may light up with the dreaded check engine light, signaling a need for immediate attention. Ignoring this could damage the catalytic converter, leading to more costly repairs down the line.
