Chevrolet Impala Oxygen Sensor
The Oxygen Sensor in Chevrolet Impala vehicles helps in regulating the air-fuel mixture with a view of decreasing on emission and increase in the engine performance level. Due to it being able to get samples of the oxygen level within the exhaust gases that the engine is putting out, the sensor gets to feed real time information to the engine control module/ECM. One of the high-tech components is used to sustain these factors to keep the combustion process efficient and emissions in check. Chevrolet Impala Oxygen Sensors are mainly of the heated category to facilitate a faster response for proper functioning. The technologies used in these sensors are include zirconia and electrochemical methods among others from previous years. Oxygen Sensor can cause high emission, high fuel consumption and unstable engine performance if there is a failure. This component should regularly be maintained and checked to guarantee the proper running of the vehicle.
Each OEM Chevrolet Impala Oxygen Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Chevrolet Impala Oxygen Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: What is the purpose and process of servicing an oxygen sensor in a Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo?
A: An oxygen sensor is a galvanic battery that produces a small voltage output in response to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. This voltage signal is the input side of the feedback loop between the oxygen sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Without it, the PCM would be unable to correct the injector on-time to maintain the perfect air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1 that the catalyst needs for optimal operation. All vehicles have On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-11) engine management systems, which use an oxygen sensor ahead of the Catalytic Converter and another oxygen sensor behind the catalytic converter to verify the accuracy of the feedback loop. The models have two heated oxygen sensors: one upstream sensor located on the rear exhaust manifold and a downstream sensor located under the vehicle, behind the catalytic converter. Both sensors are heated to speed up warm-up time. When servicing a sensor, special care must be taken to avoid damaging the pigtail or electrical connector, keeping contaminants away, and not using cleaning solvents. Oxygen sensors are delicate and should not be dropped or handled roughly. The silicone boot on the sensor must be installed correctly to prevent melting. When replacing the upstream oxygen sensor, the ignition coil assembly may need to be removed for better access. The sensor can be unscrewed using an oxygen sensor socket, and if reusing the old sensor, anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads. The installation process is the reverse of removal. For the downstream oxygen sensor, the vehicle must be raised and securely placed on jackstands. The sensor can be located and disconnected, then unscrewed using an oxygen sensor socket. Again, if reusing the old sensor, anti-seize compound should be applied to the threads. The installation process is the reverse of removal.
