Focus Oxygen Sensor Issue

Check engine light on my 2017 Ford Focus with gasoline engine. Diagnostic tool says oxygen sensor error. Fuel consumption also higher than usual. Mileage is 65827 km. Anyone seen this?

I had a similar issue with my Focus. Error memory said problems with the air-fuel ratio. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the oxygen sensor? That can often be the culprit.

Thanks! I visually inspected the cable and plug, but didn't see anything obvious. Were your symptoms similar, especially the increased fuel consumption?

Yes, the symptoms were identical, including the elevated fuel consumption. I think you should visit a workshop to get the wiring and the sensor checked with professional tools. It's the most efficient way.

Thanks again! The workshop confirmed a defective plug connection. Repair cost 95€, and the issue is resolved. I appreciate the help!
