What are the oxygen sensor responsible for?
The engine light has been on in my car for over a year, but I haven't had any problems. I was told that my catalytic converter would need to be replaced, but I was thinking that maybe the sensor somewhere are off or a fuse is blown, since my horn, cruise control, and radio volume on my steering wheel are not working. What are your thoughts?

The upstream O2 gives feedback for fuel/air adjustments, the downstream cat only measures the efficiency of the cat itself. When the downstream O2 indicates the catalyst is operating below 96% efficiency, a replacement is indicated even if the car runs well.
