Best Answer

If you mean the HO2 (Heated Oxygen Sensor), then that works to tell your car's ECM how rich or lean the engine is running. The ECM uses that information to adjust the fuel ratio to keep the engine's emissions to a minimum. If the Oxygen Senor is not functioning, the ECM cannot tell what the engine is doing and goes to a default, rich fuel mixture. An overly rich mixture will decrease you vehicle's fuel economy and cause damage to your catalytic converter.

What happens when a car drops something in the freeway and it hits your car?

If the object came off the other vehicle there liability coverage will pay for the damage. If it came off the road and was just kicked up by their vehicle then they are not liable for the damage. In that case it is called road hazard and would not be covered by the other parties insurance. Your insurance will pay for it if you have physical damage coverage on your vehicle.

What happens if you fall out of a moving truck?

Whoever the victim is, their auto insurance will cover medical bills. This happened to me... As long as there was no auto accident and no damage to the vehicle, your auto insurance will pay for your injuries. If there is an auto accident that causes you to fall out of the moving vehicle, I am not sure how that would work...

Does car insurance cover damage caused by trailer detaching from vehicle?

Liability coverage extends from the vehicle that is pulling a trailer, boat, or camper. This means if you are backing up in a parking area and the camper hits another vehicle the liability coverage will cover the damage to the other vehicle. Even if you are going down the road and the trailer comes loose the liability is still attached to the trailer and damage it does to another persons property is covered by liability from the vehicle that it was attached to. The kicker is that damage to the trailer itself is not covered by the vehicle pulling it. You would have to have a policy on the trailer itself for physical damage coverage to cover damage to the trailer.

It does not pay for your vehicle. You would have to have collision insurance. In a one vehicle accident, liability only would come into affect if you caused damage to another person's property.


Can a rear end accident damage a transmission?

In the event of a high impact front to rear collision, the front vehicle may suffer damage to the differential gears. This happens when the front vehicle happens to be under gear and the sudden impact on the driveshafts damages one or more of the gears in the differential housing. There would be unmistakeable evidence of gear fracture; which is different from normal wear and tear. In most cases damage to the differential gears would not be immediately evident following impact unless there is evidence of external damage to the casing. to be on the safe side, one would best recommend a thorough mechanical investigation following a high energy front to rear impact in order to rule out such occurances. In some cases, splinter damage also results in a damaged gearbox casing.
