What does the O2 sensor on a Tiburon do?

What does the O2 sensor on a Tiburon do?

The oxygen sensors, also called “O2 sensors,” monitor the exhaust gases coming out of the engine. The sensors then send information to the Tiburon’s electronic control unit (ECU) which adjusts the air to fuel ratio to optimize fuel consumption and horsepower.

What does it mean when your oxygen sensor is running rich?

Basic Oxygen (O2) Sensor Codes If there is too much fuel and not enough air, the engine is said to be “running rich”, or “has a rich mixture”. It will have a gassy or rotten egg smell from the exhaust, give off a burning effect to the eyes and will make black smoke.

Why does the O2 sensor only read the exhaust?

Incorrect input from other sensors, such as the Mass Air Flow Sensor. The O2 sensors only read (O2) content in the exhaust. So, If you have all that unburned fuel from incomplete combustion then, you also have all that unburned (O2).
