After replacing sensor...truck seemed to run okay for a short time period. After parking truck, check engine light came on and truck would only move forward slightly. Reverse does not work at all. Had problem in past...disconnecting batteries and resetting worked. NOthing seem to work now. Have been told that sensor needs to be OEM replacement...after market sensors do not work. Sensor installed was from NAPA

you should have three oxygen sensors on your car, one for each bank of three cylinders; should be towards the Y pipe on each exhaust manifold. Additionally you should have one on the exhaust pipe before the cadilitic converter.

Looked it up in Chilton's, confirmed in http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/
P0481 Cooling Fan 2 Control Circuit Malfunction
Each fan will throw a different code. See 3 fans listed for your model. Here's a link for the wiring schematic: http://www.chiltonlibrary.com/content/images/WD/GM/014/WD_GM_014788.pdf
Best of luck.

you have to know what the code is that your truck putting out your truck has 4 O2 sensors. the trucks computer is smart and the code will tell you witch one is bad but if you replace just one the next one on the same exhaust pipe will probley go bad so its safe to replace all four. the draw back to replaceing all of them is thay cost about 80 bucks for one ACDelco O2 sensor. It has to be done before it will pass Emissions. not a hard part to change about a 7/8 open end wrench will take it off. have fun.

Under intake manifold on top of block,you need to remove intake to access sensors there are two of them you can't miss them when intake is off. After replacing sensors you need a new intake gasket.
