problem #3

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,199 miles
The service engine soon light on the dash of my 1996 Ford Taurus has been on for several months. After many diagnostic tests the problem is still not resolved. The obd computer in the vehicle is reading for 4 oxygen sensors when this vehicle only has 3 oxygen sensors. This resulted in the vehicle failing emissions testing for the state of Georgia.
