The Oxygen Sensor in Chevrolet Blazer is used to determine the amount of unburned oxygen in exhaust emissions; this is very important in determining the correct ratio of air and fuel that should be mixed and burned in the engines. It produces a voltage that is proportional to the oxygen concentration and the engine control computer uses it in timing the fuel injectors. This feedback mechanism allows the engine to be a 'closed loop,' and as such improves catalytic converter effectiveness. In Chevrolet Blazers, there is usually the zirconium dioxide based oxygen sensor, and there may be the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors. The upstream sensor gives the car's computer a real-time reading adequate for air-fuel mixture tweaking, while the downstream sensor keeps a lookout on the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Modern vehicles may also have air-fuel ratio sensors, which are wider in usage range than the usual narrow band oxygen sensors. These sensors can wear out with time due to contamination and therefore the emissions may increases and the fuel consumption decreases.

Chevrolet Blazer Oxygen Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to check and replace Camshaft Position Sensor,Coolant Temperature Sensor,Crankshaft Position Sensor,Intake Manifold Temperature Sensor,Knock Sensor,Oxygen Sensor,Vehicle Speed Sensor,Neutral Safety Switch,MAP Sensor and Throttle Position Sensor on Chevrolet Blazer,S10,GMC Jimmy and Sonoma?
A: Various engine sensors and components have checking procedures,the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor that changes resistance with temperature, and a failure in the circuit can cause trouble codes. The resistance should be measured when cold and warm while ensuring reference voltage from PCM is around 5.0 volts for the verification. Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor monitors changes in intake manifold pressure then varies its voltage output accordingly. Look at the reference voltage and signal voltage with the ignition on and engine off, and observe voltage changes as the engine's vacuum changes. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor acts as a thermistor where you can measure its resistance at different temperatures to make sure it changes as expected. Also, use a scan tool to monitor the IAT sensor for performance. The oxygen sensor in exhaust detects oxygen content which you can check its millivolt signal while warming up your engine. Check whether the oxygen sensor heater has correct voltage or not. Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) provides speed data to PCM which can be checked for reference voltage. Depending on the type of engine, Camshaft Sensor and Crankshaft Sensor should be checked for resistance and proper signal output. Finally, Knock Sensors detect engine knock which should be checked for reference voltage and resistance. If any component fails these checks, replacement may be necessary.
