What Does an O2 Sensor do for Your Vehicle?

Today's vehicles operate through a sophisticated computer that takes in data from a variety of sensors. With this information, the computer operates the engine at peak performance and economy. The O2 sensor is among the more important sensors that the computer relies on. This sensor is placed in the exhaust pipe to read oxygen levels in the exhaust system. It helps the computer determine how much fuel needs to be sent through the injectors.

What are Some Symptoms of a Bad O2 Sensor?

The most common symptom of an O2 sensor that has gone bad is the Check Engine Light coming on. Of course, there are a lot of things that can cause this dash warning light to come on, so you'll need to have a code reader hooked up to the vehicle. Keep in mind that there's usually more than one O2 sensor in the exhaust system. When you stop by a factory-certified service center like ours, we'll be able to determine exactly which sensor is bad.

Other signs that an O2 sensor in your ride is bad typically have to do with the way the vehicle runs. If it's idling rough, sluggish off the line, or just not as responsive as it once was, there's a good chance the oxygen sensor in the exhaust system is to blame. You may also notice a drop in fuel economy.
