What are the effects of a damaged oxygen sensor on a BMW?
1 Answers
About the impact of a damaged oxygen sensor on a BMW, the related introduction is as follows: 1. Abnormal vehicle signals: Oxygen sensor failure usually triggers a warning light, causing abnormal signal output. The engine may shake, produce popping sounds from the exhaust, emit a pungent odor, and even lead to an abnormal air-fuel ratio, resulting in black smoke emissions. If the front oxygen sensor is damaged, it cannot be used further and must be replaced with a new one. 2. Abnormal vehicle operation: Once the oxygen sensor or its connecting circuit malfunctions, it will not only cause excessive emissions but also worsen the engine's operating conditions. This can lead to symptoms such as stalling at idle, irregular engine operation, reduced power, and an imbalanced engine air-fuel mixture ratio, resulting in increased fuel consumption.
