Practice question

An oxygen sensor waveform shows a signal that is stuck at 0.2V and does not oscillate. What does this indicate?

  1. The sensor is reading a continuously lean mixture, possibly due to a vacuum leak or failed sensor
  2. The engine is running perfectly stoichiometric
  3. The catalytic converter is absorbing all oxygen before the sensor
  4. The EGR valve is stuck open diluting the exhaust

Answer: A — The sensor is reading a continuously lean mixture, possibly due to a vacuum leak or failed sensor
