That is one of dozens of possible causes.

On a vehicle, the check engine light will probably come on. It may also quit or run poorly, depending on the sensor.
* It could be a faulty check engine light or a light sensor problem . There's probably not a problem with the engine at all just the faulty sensor light problem most likely. * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If your check engine light stays on with the engine running , a malfunction with the emission control system has been detected. Have your vehicle scanned for any trouble codes in order to diagnose and repair the problem. ( I had a check engine light come on at 35000 miles - in my case it turned out to be the DPFE sensor )
Possible failure of the output/vehicle speed sensor.Possible failure of the output/vehicle speed sensor.
If your vehicle has a bad sensor the check engine light will come on. Otherwise they should be replaced as recommended by your service manual.
The oxygen sensor is one of many things that could turn the check engine light on.The oxygen sensor is one of many things that could turn the check engine light on.
If the check engine light is on you need to have the vehicle scanned for any trouble code(s) to help determine and then repair the problem
That is what the check engine light is for. It informs you of a failure.
There is not one sensor. All the ECM sensors are tied to the check engine light.
Yes, an unplugged sensor can cause a check engine light.
Yes, a failed O2 sensor can indeed trigger a check engine light. The O2 sensor monitors the oxygen levels in the exhaust and helps the engine control unit (ECU) optimize fuel efficiency and emissions. If the sensor fails or sends incorrect readings, it can lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions, prompting the check engine light to activate. It's advisable to have it diagnosed and replaced if necessary to ensure optimal vehicle performance.
It sounds like your VSS(Vehicle Speed Sensor) has gone bad, which will turn on your check engine light.
