I received a call from a customer in Franklin about their 2012 Ford F-150 having a check engine light on and not running as efficiently as usual.
They mentioned:
Check engine light illuminated
Decreased fuel efficiency

When I arrived, I performed a diagnostic scan and live data analysis.
Findings:

Safely removed the faulty sensor
Installed a new O2 sensor
Cleared fault codes
Tested engine operation and sensor readings
Total time on-site was about 1 hour.
Result
After the repair:
Check engine light was resolved
Engine ran smoother
Fuel efficiency improved
Sensor readings returned to normal
The vehicle was back to proper operating condition.
Why O2 Sensors Fail
