  • Typically lasts 60,000-90,000 miles before replacement
  • Heated element ensures quick warm-up and accurate readings
  • Part number: 22690-AL600
Secondary O2 Sensor
  • Located downstream of the catalytic converter
  • Monitors oxygen levels post-catalytic conversion
  • Ensures catalytic converter efficiency
  • Helps detect catalytic converter failure
  • Part number: 22690-AL601

  • Detects abnormal levels of pollutants in exhaust gases
  • Triggers the check engine light if inefficiency is detected
  • Works in tandem with secondary O2 sensor
  • Part number: 22690-AL602
  • Replacement typically required with catalytic converter

Mass Airflow Sensor

The mass airflow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine, which is crucial for maintaining the correct air-fuel ratio. This sensor plays a significant role in reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.

MAF Sensor Specifications
  • Located between the air filter and throttle body
  • Measures air mass using a hot wire or film element
  • Provides data to the ECU for precise fuel injection
  • Cleaning recommended every 30,000 miles
  • Part number: 22680-AL600
  • Replacement interval: 100,000 miles or as needed
