What is the Function of an Oxygen Sensor in the Exhaust System on Dodge Nitro?

The oxygen sensor in the exhaust system reacts with oxygen to produce a voltage output that varies depending on the oxygen content. This feedback signal is used by the PCM to determine the required fuel injector pulse width and control the air/fuel ratio. The ideal ratio is 14.7:1 for minimum emissions and optimal fuel economy and performance. The post-converter oxygen sensor monitors the efficiency of the catalytic converter. The sensor configuration varies depending on the engine model. The PCM operates in an open-loop fuel control mode until the sensor reaches its operating temperature. Proper operation of the sensor depends on electrical connections, air supply, operating temperature, and the use of unleaded fuel. The PCM can detect sensor problems and set diagnostic trouble codes. When replacing the sensor, precautions should be taken to avoid damage or contamination. The sensor should be installed using anti-seize compound on the threads.

Dodge Nitro Oxygen Sensor

The Oxygen Sensor in Dodge Nitro vehicles is instrumental in the measurement of the air/fuel mixture that is in the exhaust system for efficiency and less pollution. Considering the fact that the sensor can capture unburned oxygen and developed a voltage signal so as to enable the engine control computer of the car to try and fine-tune the mixture to its optimal setting. Dodge Nitro Oxygen Sensors normally have a sensing part made from zirconium dioxide and coated with platinum, they are embedded in ceramic and steel and come with a heating component for faster processing. They are often used before and after the catalytic converter where the data is feed back for fine tuning of the fuel. While the old method cycles through rich and lean conditions new cars might use wide band air/fuel ratio sensors. Dirt and time are the major causes of change of sensitiveness of the sensors they cause elevated emission rates and low fuel efficiency that requires servicing by replacement of the sensors.

Looking for affordable and high-quality auto parts? Then you have already arrived at the proper online shop. We offer all Dodge Nitro Oxygen Sensor at great affordable prices. Moreover, all genuine Dodge Nitro Oxygen Sensor come with a manufacturer's warranty. In the long run, you would realize you have saved a lot of trouble and money with OEM parts from here.
