Hey there! You know that thing called an O2 sensor? It may sound a bit like some trendy gadget, but it serves to help keep your car running well. That being said, today we will be learning about O2 sensors and why they matter for your car.
O2 ----- An O2 sensor is a little device located in your car's exhaust system. Its role is to monitor how much oxygen is present in the exhaust gases producing from your engine. This is paramount to how well your car functions.
Your vehicle requires the proper balance of fuel and oxygen for optimal performance. Excess oxygen in the exhaust gases means the engine isn’t burning as much fuel as it should. Too little will waste fuel and produce nasty emissions. O2 ID 4 of Part Image: The O2 is an exhaust gas sensor that tells the car's computer whether it's running rich or lean, so the computer can adjust the air and fuel mix accordingly, keeping your engine running properly and efficiently.
O2 sensors are not weak copouts, but like anything else, they can wear out. For example, common symptoms of a faulty O2 sensor are poor gas mileage, rough idling, or check engine light (the little wrench icon in your dash above). So, here's how you know that you need to inspect and perhaps change your O2 sensor.
In addition to helping you engine to run well, O2 sensors also help to reduce harmful emissions from your car. O2 sensors allow your car to burn cleanly by ensuring optimal oxygen is in the exhaust gases. That means fewer bad things end up in the air, and that’s a good thing for the environment and our health.”
It is essential to maintain your O2 sensor to keep it healthy. Stick to your car’s maintenance schedule, and be sure to have your O2 sensor checked during a tune-up. Other things to look out for are signs of trouble, like poor fuel economy or a check engine light. O2 sensor maintenance helps your car to work well and bad emissions.
