bank 1 sensor 2 location - zjlimited_210.jpg

Fig. Fig. 3: Oxygen sensor-4.3L engines


zjlimited_211.jpg


Fig. Fig. 4: Oxygen sensor-5.0L and 5.7L engines









Fig. Fig. 5: Oxygen sensor-7.4L engines




Oxygen sensors are always numbered like this:
Bank 1 sensor 1
Bank 2 sensor 1
Bank 1 sensor 2
Bank 2 sensor 2

Some manufacturers use a kind of shorthand that reads different, but means the same thing:
Sensor 1/1 or O2s 1/1
Sensor 2/1 or O2s 2/1
Sensor 1/2 or O2s 1/2
Sensor 2/2 or O2s 2/2

Bank 1 is always the side of the engine where cylinder number 1 is located and, of coarse, Bank 2 is the opposite side.
On a 4 cylinder engine, there is only 1 bank and it is always referred to as Bank 1.

Sensor 1 is always the upstream sensor (the one located BEFORE the catalytic converter)
Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.

Hope helps (remember to rate this).

'sensor 2' stands for downstream oxygen sensor.

    The downstream oxygen sensor is after the catalytic converter, yes.

Sensor 2 is always the downstream sensor (the one that is located AFTER the catalytic converter.

Most GM engines have #1 cylinder located on the left bank, (or Driver's Side) of the engine,

So, the answer to your question would be that you are looking for the sensor located before the catalytic converter on the right (or Passenger Side) of the truck.

'Sensor 2' means the sensor is downstream from the exhaust manifold instead of on the exhaust manifold.

HO 2S
The heated oxygen sensor is used by the powertrain control module to measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. The PCM uses this data to control the air fuel mixture in the engine. The PCM sends a bias voltage of approximately 450 mV to the oxygen sensor. At operating temperature the oxygen sensor signal varies between 0 and 1,000 mV. When the mixture is rich the oxygen content is low and the voltage signal will remain on the high side of the 450 mV mid-range. When the mixture is lean the oxygen content is high and the voltage signal will remain on the low side below the 450 mV mid-range.

The oxygen sensors on later model vehicles are equipped with a heater circuit. The heater circuit in the oxygen sensor shortens the time required for the sensor to reach operating temperature and provides a more accurate signal.

Are there two oxygen sensors on a chevy suburban or four its a wheel drive with a v-8 our

Hi, if the suburban is 1996, or newer, you will have 4 O2 sensors. The sensor mounted before the catalytic converter, is sensor 1, and the sensor after the cat, sensor 2. These can also be referred to as pre, or post. The driver, or left side of the engine, is bank 1, as the passenger, or right hand is bank 2. years prior to this, use 1 O2 sensor. Good luck...Coop
