The MIL light is only a possible symptom, its possible to have a duff sensor with no light showing.

The light will only come on once the sensor starts giving readings outside the expected range.

A faulty sensor can still give readings within range but the wrong readings which could result in fuelling issues. For example on a cold day, it could tell the ECU that its warmer and the result could be lean running
