FAQs

What is a Lambda Sensor?

A Lambda Sensor, also known as an Oxygen Sensor, measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases. This information helps the engine control unit (ECU) optimize the air-fuel mixture.

Where is the sensor located?

The sensor is typically located in the exhaust system, after the catalytic converter.

How often should I replace the sensor?

The recommended change interval is 160,000 km.

What happens if the sensor fails?

A failing sensor can lead to poor fuel economy, increased emissions, and rough engine performance.

Can I install the sensor myself?

While installation is possible for those with experience, it's recommended to have the sensor installed by a qualified mechanic.

What are the compatible part numbers?

Compatible part numbers include 0258986602 from Bosch, and various references from NTK (NGK-GROUP) and NGK. OEM references include 22590 ED000, 226A0 EN21A, 226A0 4V00A, 22690 CJ00A, and 22690 ED000 for Nissan, and 226A0 EN21A for Infiniti. Other references include LS204 and LSF-4.2.

How do I check if the sensor is working?

You can use an OBD-II scanner to check for error codes related to the oxygen sensor. Additionally, a mechanic can perform tests to assess its functionality.

Troubleshooting
