Getting good gas mileage is more important than ever these days, so you will want to do everything you can to make sure your vehicle is getting the most from every gallon. One of the components that has a big effect on your miles per gallon is your Dodge Caravan oxygen sensor. You will find your Caravan oxygen sensor located near your exhaust manifold, where its job is to measure the oxygen content in the exhaust leaving your combustion cylinders and sent that data to your vehicle’s onboard computer.

Your engine uses this information to determine how much fuel will be injected into your cylinders, where it is mixed with the oxygen to generate power. The Dodge Caravan oxygen sensor is part of a network of sensors that deals with fuel injection and oxygen levels, but the oxygen sensor is the only one that is located directly in the path of your exhaust. Measurements from other sensor only provide your vehicle with estimates, and so, when your Caravan oxygen sensor is not working properly, your engine will receive too much fuel to make sure there is enough--because too little fuel will damage your engine.

In addition to wasting fuel, a faulty Dodge Caravan oxygen sensor can damage your catalytic converter over time due to the excess fuel that is passing through your exhaust system. If a tank of gas is not getting you as far as it used to, you may want to consider replacing your Caravan oxygen sensor.You can browse our extensive online catalogue to find the oxygen sensor you need, and we’ll even deliver it right to your door so you don’t have to waste more gas driving to the auto parts store.
