What are the Impacts of Oxygen Sensor Failure on the Performance of a Car
Description:
The oxygen sensor is one of the most crucial sensors present in modern-day cars. Basically, this O2 sensor is a part of the vehicle’s emission control system. When it fails, it puts a negative impact on the engine performance and environmental emission. You may experience bad gas mileage, engine misfiring with a faulty O2 sensor. Besides that, its failure causes the check engine light to come on and other emission related issues. Thus, if you find a faulty O2 sensor, then replace it immediately taking the help of a versed car-geek and allow your car to perform smoothly and fuel-efficiently. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: What are the Impacts of Oxygen Sensor Failure on the Performance of a Car
1
WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS OF OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE ON
THE PERFORMANCE OF A CAR?
2
The presence of oxygen in the combustion chamber
of an engine is really necessary.
3
Oxygen helps to completely burn the fuel inside
the combustion chamber and thus increases the
power output and reduces the emission of toxic
pollutants to the environment.
4
The primary job of the oxygen sensor is to keep
an eye on the oxygen present in the exhaust
manifold.
5
Use of oxygen sensor in the car has significantly
increased the efficiency of the engine.
6
However, oxygen sensor failure might have adverse
impacts on the internal combustion process.
7
IMPACTS OF OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE
8
EMISSION ISSUES
9
Problems in the emission system might be
triggered by one or many mechanical failures in
the car.
10
However, issues in the emission system like the
emergence of a huge amount of dark smoke from the
tailpipe is an early visible sign of oxygen
sensor failure.
11
This happens due to the absence of an adequate
amount of oxygen inside the combustion chamber of
the engine.
12
Besides, the presence of an excess amount of
oxygen also causes certain emission-related
problems in the car.
13
A car with a failed oxygen sensor could not
fulfill the guidelines implemented to control
emission.
14
ENGINE MISFIRE
15
Oxygen sensor helps the engine control unit to
regulate the fuel to air mixture inside the
combustion chamber.
16
However, a defective O2 sensor could not provide
suitable data to the ECU which could lead to an
engine misfire.
17
Besides, faulty oxygen sensors also adversely
affects the power output of an engine.
18
So, warning signs like the appearance of check
engine light which indicates that the oxygen
sensor has defects should never be neglected.
19
POOR FUEL ECONOMY
20
As mentioned earlier, the oxygen sensor plays an
important role in the regulation of fuel to air
mixture inside the combustion chamber.
21
Thus, it regulates the rate of fuel consumption
by the engine.
22
If the rate of fuel consumption increases
rapidly, then it should not be overlooked.
23
The root cause behind such an abnormal behavior
might be defective oxygen sensors.
24
BOTTOM LINE
25
Oxygen sensors used in the car are very sensitive
and important components.
26
Such sensors play a crucial role in the
performance of a car and defects in such sensors
could impair a car.
27
So, defective oxygen sensors should be replaced
in time.
