When the ECU detects a problem with the O2 sensor or its circuit, it sets the diagnostic code 27. Some common causes of this code include:
- Faulty oxygen sensor
- O2 sensor wiring issues (such as loose connections or damaged wires)
- Issues with the ECU
- Vacuum leaks
- Exhaust leaks
It's important to note that the O2 sensor is a crucial component for ensuring optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. If you experience diagnostic code 27, it's recommended to have your vehicle inspected and diagnosed by a qualified technician or mechanic.
