Show example Ford F-150 Oxygen Sensor Replacement prices What is the Oxygen Sensor all about?With each new model year, manufacturers are adding more oxygen sensors to better manage engine operation. Some high performance engines have an oxygen sensor for each cylinder as well as one for the rear of each catalytic convertor. The sensors are located either underneath the hood or underneath the car. The oxygen sensors are connected (screwed) to the exhaust pipe, either in front or back of the catalytic converter. The front (upstream) sensors measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system. The purpose of the front oxygen sensor(s) is to measure how rich or lean the gases are as the gases exit the combustion chamber. Depending upon whether the exhaust gas is lean (high in oxygen content) or rich (low in oxygen content), the amount of fuel entering the engine is adjusted by the engine management computer to try and maintain an ideal mixture that produces the lowest emissions output from the catalytic convertor. Rear (downstream) sensors are located behind the catalytic converter. The purpose of the rear oxygen sensor(s) is to monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gases leaving the catalytic convertor. If one or more of the oxygen sensors are faulty, your car may not pass the emissions test. If you drive your car with a faulty oxygen sensor, you may get poor gas mileage and it can damage the catalytic converter.
 When replacing the oxygen sensor remember:
How it's done:
Our recommendation:Keep up with the tune-ups. If check engine light is on, don't drive the car too long without getting it inspected. If check engine light is flashing, pull over and get the car towed to avoid costly repairs. Ask the mechanic to inspect the vacuum hoses and leaks in the exhaust system. If the vacuum hose or exhaust system is leaking, it will display an oxygen sensor fault code. Replacing an oxygen sensor may not fix the problem. What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Oxygen Sensor?
How important is replacing the oxygen sensor?Your vehicle has multiple oxygen sensors, and they all help the car run optimally. The front sensors measure how much oxygen is in the exhaust stream to measure how rich or lean the gases leaving the gas chamber are. The rear sensors measure the oxygen content of the gases as they leave the catalytic converter. The oxygen sensors then relay this information to your vehicle’s electronic control unit, so that it can adjust as necessary. Because cars depend on an ideal fuel-to-air ratio to function optimally, the oxygen sensors are leaned on for engine performance. When your oxygen sensors fail your car will run less smoothly, get worse mileage, and have worse emissions.

Are O2 sensors worth replacing?Since O2 sensors are so critical to your car's system, it's recommended to replace your sensors every 60,000 to 90,000 miles.
How many O2 sensors are in a Ford f150?4. There is one on each side between the exhaust manifold and the cats and there is one on each side after the cats. The fronts two are what is used to adjust fueling.
What are the signs of a failing O2 sensor?Signs a Vehicle has a Bad O2 Sensor. Check Engine Light Comes On.. Noticeable Loss of Fuel Efficiency.. Sulfur or 'Rotten Egg' smell from Exhaust.. Black smoke from exhaust.. Emission levels reach high levels.. Your engine hesitates, skips, begins bucking or has power surges.. |
