In the 2014 Buick Encore, you will find the O2 sensors located at the front and back of the exhaust pipe near the catalytic converter. These sensors play a crucial role in the vehicle's emission and ignition systems by monitoring the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases. This information is transmitted to the car's main computer (ECU), which then adjusts the air/fuel mixture in the engine for optimal performance. A properly functioning O2 sensor helps the car maintain good fuel efficiency and smooth operation. If these sensors start to fail or show signs of deterioration, it can lead to inaccurate readings and cause the engine to run too rich or too lean. This may result in issues like rough idling, decreased gas mileage, and potential misfires. The average cost of replacing an O2 sensor in a Buick Encore typically ranges from $150 to $160, covering both parts and labor.
