The Kia Sportage Oxygen Sensor constantly monitors for leftover oxygen in the exhaust, allowing the engine computer to fine-tune fuel for clean emissions and good mileage. Housed in a threaded steel shell, the zirconia core covered by a platinum coating is a sensor that compares exhaust oxygen to outside air and generates 0.1 to 0.9 volts, signals that the computer uses to maintain closed-loop control and keep the catalytic converter in efficient condition. Every Kia Sportage generally has at least one upstream Oxygen Sensor ahead of the converter that cycles several times per second and one downstream Oxygen Sensor that monitors the catalyst function after the converter to check if it's working and has built-in heaters rushing them to roughly 600°F so feedback begins in a short time. Aging, silicate or phosphorus contamination, or carbon buildup can cause an Oxygen Sensor to slow down, turn on the warning light, and spike emissions. Newer versions of the Kia Sportage may deviate from the narrow-band style to a wideband Oxygen Sensor that monitors mixture in a wider range by monitoring current, not voltage, but is no less dependent on cleanliness to stay sharp. Properly functioning Oxygen Sensor feedback ensures that every Kia Sportage is running clean and economical.
