Armada Oxygen Sensor Issue

Hey, I'm scratching my head over an issue with my 2013 Nissan Armada with a gasoline engine. It's got about 74760 km on it. The check engine light popped on, and after scanning, it's throwing a code related to the oxygen sensor – specifically, an air-fuel ratio problem. I've also noticed the fuel consumption is up a bit. I suspect it might be a defective cable or plug connection to the O2 sensor. Has anyone else run into this with their Armada?

I have a Nissan Armada as well. I had a similar issue with the check engine light and increased fuel consumption some time ago. In my case, the O2 sensor was faulty. By the way, the O2 sensor, or oxygen sensor, measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gases to ensure that the engine is burning the right mixture of air and fuel. Is the error message you are receiving an intermittent or a constant one?

Thanks for the info! The error is constant, appearing immediately after clearing it from the error memory. Did replacing the oxygen sensor fix your problem completely, and did you check the cable or plug connection before?

Yes, replacing the sensor fixed the problem. I would suggest checking the cable or plug connections first, as you suggested in your initial post. However, if the error is permanent, and the sensor is aged, it is likely defective. At this point, I would suggest that you visit a workshop to check out the sensor. I paid around 95€ for the repair including the defective O2 sensor.

Okay, thanks a lot for the advice! I'll double-check the connections like you suggested just to be sure, but it sounds like a new sensor is probably in order. I appreciate you sharing your experience; I'll take it to the shop.
