 The typical GMC engine does not burn its fuel very efficiently, and if the intact fuel is allowed to leave the combustion chamber and flow through the exhaust system without further treatment, when it is released into the open air, it could cause damage to the environment. In modern vehicles, however, laws dictate that each vehicle has a system in place to reduce the potential pollutants from the engine, and the GMC oxygen sensor plays an important role in this system. It is designed to sense the amount of oxygen in the exhaust, and with that information, the engine’s computer can calculate the level of harmful emissions that are also present in the exhaust. The GMC oxygen sensor is located just past the catalytic converter, which is designed to remove the majority of the pollutants from the exhaust. If there are too many harmful substances in the exhaust, the computer will adjust the amount of air and fuel in the combustion chamber to try to reduce the level.
 If the computer no longer receives a signal from the GMC oxygen sensor, it will alert the driver to the failure of the sensor, by illuminating a light on the dashboard.
