How Often Should the Oxygen Sensor Be Replaced?
1 Answers
There is no fixed replacement interval for the automotive oxygen sensor, but it is recommended to replace the oxygen sensor for vehicles that have traveled over 100,000 kilometers. More information about the automotive oxygen sensor is as follows: 1. The automotive oxygen sensor is a critical feedback sensor in the electronic fuel injection engine control system. It is a key component for controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution, and improving the fuel combustion quality of the engine. Oxygen sensors are installed on the engine's exhaust pipe. 2. Once the oxygen sensor fails, the computer of the electronic fuel injection system will not be able to obtain information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, thus failing to provide feedback control for the air-fuel ratio. This can lead to increased engine fuel consumption and exhaust pollution, as well as engine issues such as unstable idling, misfires, and surging.
