- Withstands exhaust streams up to 1,880°F
- TSP coating resists vibration, corrosion and contamination

A tired sensor can show up as a check engine light, a rougher idle or worse fuel economy, but several other faults give similar symptoms. Before buying a replacement, look over the sensor wiring and connector for damage with the engine off and cool, and have a shop test the circuit if nothing is visible.
