Car Oxygen Sensor F4ZF9F472BB / F4ZZ9F472B
Original Equipment Lambda Sensor for Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Mazda, and Lotus vehicles with petrol engines.
Product Overview
This Original Equipment Lambda Sensor (Oxygen Sensor) is manufactured for Ford Motor Company and provides cross-compatibility across Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Mazda, and Lotus vehicles. The OE numbers F4ZF9F472BB and F4ZZ9F472B represent the same sensor family used in various Ford and Mazda petrol engine applications.
The sensor monitors oxygen content in exhaust gases and transmits data to the Engine Control Module (ECM) to maintain optimal air-fuel mixture for efficient combustion and reduced emissions. Features include 4-wire heated design with green connector jacket for rapid operating temperature achievement.
Important Note: F4ZF9F472BB is specifically identified as the upstream (front/pre-catalyst) passenger-side sensor, while F4ZZ9F472B is documented in both upstream and downstream positions depending on vehicle application. Always verify your original sensor's position before ordering.
