TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

Lambda sensors — also known as oxygen sensors or O2 sensors — are vital to modern engine management and emissions control. A functioning sensor: Measures oxygen levels in the exhaust, enabling accurate air-fuel mixture control Helps the ECU adjust fuelling in real time, improving fuel efficiency and performance Supports correct DPF and catalytic converter operation Triggers regeneration cycles and monitors post-cat performance Affects MOT emissions test results, especially CO and NOx levels Most modern vehicles are equipped with multiple sensors, and even minor faults can trigger engine warning lights or limp mode.

Why Do They Fail?

Lambda sensors are exposed to extreme heat, soot, and chemical contaminants. Failure is often caused by:

  • Age-related wear — most sensors degrade over 60,000 to 100,000 miles

  • Contamination from oil, coolant, or fuel additives

  • Wiring damage or water ingress in connectors

  • Sensor tip damage during exhaust or engine work

  • Exhaust leaks upstream of the sensor, skewing readings

Symptoms of a Failed Lambda Sensor

  • Poor fuel economy due to rich or lean running

  • Rough idle or hesitation during acceleration

  • Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated — often with codes like P0130–P0175

  • Failed emissions tests (MOT)

  • Increased exhaust emissions, including CO, HC, and NOx

  • Delayed or failed DPF regeneration in diesel applications

Fitting Tips

  1. Always verify sensor position (upstream/downstream, bank 1/bank 2) before fitting

  2. Apply anti-seize compound to threads, but avoid contaminating the tip

  3. Check the connector and wiring for heat damage before installation

  4. Tighten to manufacturer torque spec to avoid sensor or thread damage

  5. Clear all fault codes and monitor live data for switching function and response time
