Rewiring 02 sensor so check engine light will go off..

I have a 03 gmc sonoma 4.3 vortec... I just cut the cat. converter off and im not installing a new one because I just put dual exhaust on it.... But when i chopped old one off the engine light came on. How could I go about rewiring the wires that came off the 02 sensor to trip the check engine light to thinking it still has one on it lol... I just want the check engine light off without having to blow a hole in the dashboard with a .22 pistol or installing a new 02 sensor... Need some feedback it has 4 wires on the 02 sensor...

SOURCE: Which side is bank 2 on 04 yukon for sensor 2 replacement

if you look at the front of the motor you will notice one cyclinder is further forward then the other... that first cyclinder would be 1. i'm guessing the side opposite to cyclinder one would be bank two.

Are you needing advice, links, tricks, or all of the above?
If it's advice you want:
If you are not buying an after market harness and all of the oem wiring is intact replace one wire at a time from the component all the way back to the fuse box. Its tedious but, it's a sure fire way to get it right the first time.

Secondly, I'd by a haynes manual or some other wiring diagram. Study it for at least a couple weeks or until you are completely comfortable taking on the task.

Color code your wires and label both the old and new ones with paper tape and a permanent marker so that you know what each one is for.

Last but not least, make sure that the battery is disconnected... ;o)

How many 02 sensor and how many wire each sensor

depending on the engine make
v8 and v6 have 2 oxygen sensors( O2S) , one after each cat converter with 2 wires and 2 heated oxygen sensors ( HO2S) in the exhaust manifold/ pipe before the cat converter with 4 wires each
6 cyl and 4 cyl engines have one oxygen sensor after that cat converter and one heated oxygen sensor before the cat converter

DTC 2274 02 Sensor stuck on lean bank 1 Sensor 3. Does anyone know what sensor is 3. Is that the one on the exhaust manifold.

O2 sensors are the ones after the cat converter
As they are wired differently to HO2S sensors ( before the cat converter) the ECM knows which sensor is doing the reporting
with a bank 1 reading you should have a v6 or v8 engine in nwhich there will be 4 sensors -- 2 HO2S ( before the cat converter ) and 2 O2 sensors after the cat converter

Where is the 02 sensor located on an 1998 gmc vortec 6 cylinder?

On most of the GMC vehicles there is one located in the exhaust system before the catalytic converter and one after the catalytic converter.The one before the cat is your upstream sensor and the one after the cat is your down stream sensor.

My 1999 Sonoma with the 4.3 is having power/acceleration problems. I get four fault codes that will flag my check engine light on occasion they are, P0171, P0174, P0151, and P0154. I have changed the...

probably changed the wrong sensors
The units you should have replaced are the heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold before the cat converters (HO2S)
oxygen sensors(O2S ) are after the cat converters codes p 0171,0174 are lean mixture codes and p 150,p0154 are HO2S sensor faults
as the Ho2s sensors read the composition of the exhaust gas and report to the ECM to adjust the fuel settings then t faulty HO2S sensors will result in a lean or rich reading resulting in the other codes

I replaced my 02 sensor and cleared the code po 155 still comes on on my 2002 sonoma please help

which sensor did you change, the correct one is located on passengerside on exhaust pipe near the top. not after the converter or on the driverside, that truck if it has a 4.3 v-6 engine it has 3 to 4 sensors located 2 before the cat and 1or 2 after the cat, you want the one on passengerside closest to the top near manifold. hope this helps.

Check engine light came on recently. Car then

The exhaust system has two 02 sensors One before the cat converter and one after. The #2 02 behind the cat converter is the one that trips the light if emmisions are unacceptable coming out of the converter. The #1 or front 02 sensor monitors and constantly adjusts the fuel to stay within parameters. If the #2 tries to compensate for an inefficient converter and it conflicts with the #1 02, the ebgine will run poorly due to either too rich or too lean fuel adjustment. Have the #2 02 sensor replaced and the converter checked. Good luck

Replace the cat you have ran it for years with a bad 02 sensor so now replace it and you will get better performance and better gas miliage. Never run a check engine light fo a long time it's telling you something is wrong. youer lucky you did not destroy the engine.
