🛠 Oxygen Sensor: Essential for Your Mazda's Performance

The oxygen sensor is a critical component for maintaining your Mazda's engine efficiency. It plays a crucial role in monitoring the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases, allowing the engine control unit to adjust air-fuel mixture for optimal combustion. This fine-tuning maximizes fuel economy and minimizes emissions, contributing to a more eco-friendly drive.

🔍 Functionality of the Sensor

The sensor works by generating a voltage based on the difference in oxygen levels between the exhaust gas and the ambient air. This information is sent to the engine's computer, which in turn tweaks the fuel injection and ignition timing to ensure the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.

🚨 Consequences of a Faulty Sensor

If the oxygen sensor fails, the engine’s efficiency drops, resulting in higher fuel consumption and increased pollutants. A broken sensor might lead to a rough idle, loss of power during acceleration, and the dreaded illumination of the check engine light. It could also damage the catalytic converter over time due to incorrect air-fuel mixture.
