Subject:      RE: O2 Sensor

"He said they were initially put on to control emissions, but he has tested buses before and after installing new sensors and couldn't notice any change."

Marc,

The sensor is used by the computer to help set the optimum mixture for low emissions. The problem is that the sensor has a finite life, but cannot be tested except by replacement. The idea is that for a particular vehicle, the sensor is supposed to last at least some number of miles. This is the mileage that the warning light comes on at. The new sensor is not supposed to improve the way the bus runs, but rather prevent the bus from running badly at some future time.

How long will that be? It's a guess.

Will you notice a bad sensor? Perhaps. If you live in an emissions test area, yes.

Mike
