A automobile's Oxygen sensor can be located in the exhaust manifold.
Engines rely on a variety of mechanical and electronic systems to power a car efficiently. One device used for this function is the O2 sensor, which is located in a specific section of a car.
An O2 sensor monitors the oxygen level in the gases and transmits an electronic signal to the ECU. If the sensor indicates a high level of oxygen, the ECU adds more fuel. If the oxygen level is low, the ECU deducts fuel from the mixture. The ECU cycles the air/fuel ratio constantly to keep it at an optimum level for engine efficiency.
Definition
An O2 sensor, also referred to as an oxygen sensor, is an electronic device designed to measure the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gases. The engine computer unit, or ECU, uses these measurements to control engine operation.Process
Locations
O2 sensors are commonly found screwed into a car's exhaust manifold. An exhaust manifold is part of a car's engine and is responsible for sending the air and fuel mixture to the cylinders.
