Nearly every car on the road nowadays has several oxygen (O2) sensors. They are a component that contribute to your engine’s overall performance by monitoring and providing a consistent supply of oxygen. The O2 sensors relay these oxygen measurements taken in the exhaust system and send them to the car's computer. If a sensor has gone bad or tripped because of too much or too little of oxygen, it will trigger a warning, often in the form of a check engine light.Oxygen sensors are considered a part of the exhaust system or emissions system. With laws on vehicle emissions stricter nowadays, so have the requirements for vehicle O2 sensors. There is usually one oxygen sensor positioned in front of the catalytic converter and one in each of the car’s exhaust manifolds. Oxygen sensors can go as far as preventing emissions failures by allowing the computer to calibrate with the engine for smooth performance and enhanced fuel efficiency. As mentioned bef ... read more
