Finding an O2 Sensor:
Junior Cooper Morgan opens up the hood to find the sensor in the automotive shop, because there was an O2 sensor that had been complained about by the owner of the car.
“To fix a faulty oxygen sensor in a a car, first, use a diagnostic tool to find the damaged sensor. Then, lift the car safely, locate the sensor, and swap it out with a new one. Make sure to reset the car’s computer system after, for the new sensor to work correctly and this improves engine performance,” Cooper Morgan said.
Morgan has been in automotive for three years so far, and has said he plans to do it for his senior year and pursue automotive engineering as his future career.
Working on More Challenges:
This car had a o2 sensor that didn’t work and was later fixed by Cooper Morgan and Autotech teacher Bert Bronaugh in the automotive shop.
The car was brought in from a student at Johnson High School as they didn’t know what the problem was after it popped up a symbol next to the MPH.
“First we see what’s wrong with the car,” junior Cooper Morgan said. “This will help us know whether to open the engine or lift the car and work on the under side.”
