What would make an 02 sensor circuit no activity?

An O2 sensor circuit may show no activity due to several factors, including a faulty O2 sensor itself, damaged wiring or connectors, or issues with the vehicle's engine control module (ECM). Additionally, a lack of power supply or a blown fuse in the circuit can also prevent the sensor from functioning. If there are exhaust leaks or improper air-fuel mixture, these can affect sensor readings, leading to no activity as well. Proper diagnostics are essential to pinpoint the exact cause.
