SENSOR, A/F

Oxygen Ratio Detection Sensor for Enhanced Engine Performance ?

Why Is This Sensor Essential?

This advanced detection sensor is crucial for precise measurement of the air-fuel mixture entering your engine. By relaying this data to the engine control unit, it ensures optimal fuel combustion, boosts fuel efficiency, and reduces harmful exhaust emissions. Modern engines rely on these readings to adjust fuel injection on-the-fly, helping prolong engine life and improve overall drivability.

How Does The Sensor Function?

Installed directly in the exhaust stream, the sensor constantly monitors oxygen levels in exhaust gases. It delivers real-time voltage signals to your vehicle’s ECU, which then fine-tunes the mix of air and fuel. This process allows for cleaner combustion and helps maintain correct engine operation under all conditions.

Consequences of a Malfunctioning Sensor

If this component fails, your car may exhibit symptoms like rough idling, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, or even trigger the check engine light. Long-term neglect may lead to damage of the catalytic converter and higher emission levels, risking compliance with environmental standards.
