Description

Bosch 17279 oxygen sensor for the 2012 Ford Explorer 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles reports the exhaust air-fuel ratio to the ECU. The ECU uses that reading to control the air-fuel mixture, and this upstream sensor is a wide-band type.

Continuous, high-precision air-fuel ratio measurement across the full lambda range
Reaches operating temperature in under 7 seconds, giving the ECU a fast signal for closed-loop control
Integrated heater element and ceramic construction for steady readings through rapid load changes and thermal cycles
TSP coating and a metal housing to resist vibration, corrosion and contamination in exhaust up to 1,880°F
