Can You Still Drive If the Oxygen Sensor Is Broken?

[CalvinFitz]

Automobiles typically have two oxygen sensors: the front oxygen sensor and the rear oxygen sensor. If the front oxygen sensor is broken, you should not continue driving and need to replace it as soon as possible. If it is the rear oxygen sensor, you can continue driving without urgent replacement. Below is an introduction to oxygen sensors: 1. Classification of oxygen sensors: Automobiles usually have two oxygen sensors, one front and one rear. The front oxygen sensor is generally installed on the exhaust manifold, while the rear oxygen sensor is installed behind the three-way catalytic converter. They play different roles in the exhaust system, so the symptoms of damage will also vary. 2. Function of oxygen sensors: They are critical feedback sensors in the electronic fuel injection engine control system, key components for controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution caused by automobiles, and improving the fuel combustion quality of car engines. There are two types of oxygen sensors: zirconia and titania.
