does the stop engine light go off by itself after sensor is installed

In most situations the stop engine light will go off after a short drive of a few miles. It takes a small amount of time for the engine computer to adjust to the new sensor. In my car I was worried at first because after installation the car seemed to fuel starve at idle and die. Again, the computer adjusted with persistent restarts and after a short drive all was great. Gas mileage even improved a little bit.

Ya I have the same problem to and called the company and they said don't pay any attention to it. Some time after a vehicle passes and you hit the red light it will go off. But most of the time it stays on. Hope that helped a little.

Yes. It is called the downstream sensor since it is after (down the exhaust stream from) the catalytic converter

Even if the oxygen sensor is disconnected it is unlikely to cause a misfire. The sensor only helps the engine management system decide on the richness or leanness of the mixture. A misfire is more likely to be a component or connection on a single cylinder. Probably an ignition part or a fuel delivery part.

Unless yours is somehow defective, mine only stops when it is supposed to. I.E., when I turn off my engine.

No. You can turn the light off with the switch on the bottom but the sensor will not react and will not light up.

Yes, this one is automatic off. It takes about 15 seconds after you stop and take the key from your car then it shuts down. Hope this help!!!

Well, they send those tubes of different lengths to block the light to make it turn "on" well the same tubes make it stay on during the day as well. I took mine and threw them away , tried with out any tubes. It still stayed on. Throw entire sensor away and use manual on off switch. Wish I had better answer.

It will turn itself off after the vehicle remains motionless for about 10-15 minutes. You will have to manually turn it on.

There is no sensor, it is on until you turn it off. I usually let mine run al the time.

No. You need a custom tune for that. There are ways to trick the sensor into thinking it is working.

No, you need to follow the instructions to turn off auto off. It's described in the instruction booklet.

It has been awhile but I am fairly certain that all 4 sensors are the same so should work just fine. After I installed mine, drove around and the check engine light went out on its own. Joe

No it just goes on and off by itself, you have to unscrew it a little to interrupt the battery connection to turn it off

Im not sure if it is the sensor "monitor". But My check engine light was gone after I replaced this.

I have to assume it did/does. I bought it as an additional sensor. It operated very erratic and often with nothing to set it off. Once sounded, I'd have to shut the unit off to reset it.

No it doesn't, if it's plugged into the cigarette lighter outlet then it's on. In my car, when the engine is off it cuts power to that outlet so it shuts off on its own but in my wife's car it doesn't so I have to actively unplug it.
