Description

Function of the Oxygen Sensor

The oxygen sensor (lambda sensor) monitors the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. The ECU uses this data to continuously adjust the air-fuel ratio for optimal combustion efficiency and emissions control. The upstream sensor (before the catalytic converter) controls fuelling, while the downstream sensor monitors catalytic converter efficiency. A faulty oxygen sensor causes poor fuel economy, rough idle, increased emissions, and a check engine light.

Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

A generic OBD reader displays the standard 5-character code shown below.

• P0130 — O2 Sensor Circuit (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
• P0131 — O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
• P0132 — O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
• P0134 — O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1, Sensor 1)

Why order it from Partszar

A faulty sensor, coil or starter feeds the engine the wrong signal, so it runs rich, misfires, will not start or drops into limp mode, and the fault light stays on until it is fixed. Once this is replaced the ECU gets what it expects and the vehicle runs the way it did when it was new.
