Yes, along with dozens of other things.
A failed oxygen sensor could possibly cause a catalytic converter fault code.
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.
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
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.
Problems with the oxygen sensors are quite likely to cause emissions test problems. The car computer cannot properly adjust the air/fuel mixture to regulate the emissions.
A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can cause the engine to be low on power.

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.

There are multiple reasons the check emissions light may come on in a Renault Scenic. It could be something as simple as the gas cap not being on properly, but it may also be something more expensive like the oxygen sensor.
GM code 141 refers to a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicating a problem with the oxygen sensor circuit, specifically for the sensor located in the exhaust system before the catalytic converter. It typically means that the oxygen sensor is reading a voltage that is outside the expected range, which can affect engine performance and emissions. This issue may require inspection of the sensor itself, wiring, or related components to determine the root cause. Addressing this code is important for optimal engine operation and compliance with emissions standards.
