Re: Can the Oxygen Sensor be bad even if the Check Engine light isn't lit?

My '91 300E has only one sensor and that's ahead of the catalytic converter. Later models added sensors after the cat so that the effectiveness of the first sensor could be checked. W/o the additional sensor, there isn't anything to use to verify the operation of the primary sensor. Hence, there may not be a check engine indication of a sensor going bad on your car.
