Can an oxygen sensor cause the car to fail emissions test?

Yes, along with dozens of other things.


Will the knock sensor cause A car to fail a smog test?

Yes. Any faulty emissions control sensor, including knock sensors, will result in an automatic fail of any emissions control test, period. It doesn't even matter if your vehicle's actual exhaust emissions are within acceptable limits. In most cases, once it is determined that a sensor is bad, the test is ended immediately, and considered failed.


I have 96 Saturn sl2 What happen when oxygen sensor is broke?

The first indication of a failed oxygen (O2) sensor are warning lights to check or service the engine. A check engine light or saved problem code such as O2 problem can cause the vehicle to fail inspections. O2 sensors are an emissions component. The vehicle may also lose performance, fuel economy, and may damage other components.


O2 sensor can cause high Nox?

Nox is The abbreviation of Oxide(s) of Nitrogen. These are only produced at high burn temperature's. In a modern engine excess Nox emissions can be caused by a lean fuel mixture caused by a failed O2 sensor(s) Or A failed or pluged EGR valve

Does your o2 sensors control your idle?

Not directly. The oxygen sensor measures oxygen levels in the exhaust. The computer uses that to calculate fuel and spark timing. If an oxygen sensor is malfunctioning, it could cause idle problems.Not directly. The oxygen sensor measures oxygen levels in the exhaust. The computer uses that to calculate fuel and spark timing.
