How long does it take for fuel consumption to return to normal after replacing the oxygen sensor?
1 Answers
If the vehicle previously experienced increased fuel consumption due to a faulty oxygen sensor, the fuel consumption will decrease immediately after replacement. Below is relevant information about the oxygen sensor: 1. Principle: The oxygen sensor is a standard component in automobiles. It uses a ceramic sensing element to measure the oxygen potential in the vehicle's exhaust pipe, calculates the corresponding oxygen concentration based on chemical equilibrium principles, and monitors and controls the air-fuel ratio of combustion to ensure product quality and compliance with exhaust emission standards. 2. Advantages: Oxygen sensors are widely used in atmosphere control for various coal, oil, and gas combustion furnaces. They represent the best current method for measuring combustion atmosphere, offering advantages such as simple structure, rapid response, easy maintenance, convenient use, and accurate measurement.
