Exhaust emission sensor Engine Light

Bronk1

Dec 27, 2023

Well, brand new 2023 Bronco with only 80 miles with the engine light on!
My app tells me it’s the exhaust emission sensor failure. So I’m already needing a service call. I hope it’s just a bad sensor and not any underlying issue….
Anyone had this problem?

Do you have a code reader to provide the specific DTC? This will provide significantly more insight to the issue and steps required for resolution.

Regardless, it’s covered under warranty (but still a PITA to deal with)

No code stated in app, I’m already at dealer service cause I told them it’s coming in today!
And yes it’s a shame the truck needs service. I just hope it’s not any underlying issue….

Please let us know what the verdict is. It might help others down the road (no pun intended).

I was told that it’s a heated sensor, so it’s going to take a few days to get the part. I don’t feel comfortable driving it so they gave me a loaner…I’m going home with a Ford escape. How exciting L O L.

Otherwise known as a HEGO. If you have the 2.3, there is one. With 2.7L, there are two of them, otherwise known as stereo HEGOS

Total of 2 or 2 per side? I thought the 2.7 has both upstream & downstream O2 sensors…

@Bronk - it will be an easy fix once the part arrives although I am a bit surprised it failed so soon.

My O2 sensor had to be replaced with less than 1k miles. It only took 2 days for pars to come in. I have the 2.7 and this was in Feb 2021. No issues since (knock on wood) and I am at 25k miles now.
Enjoy the Escape!

Two per "side". The software strategy compares the value before cat, to after cat. Usually the "before" one is most likely to "fail".
