There are a total of 4 oxygen sensors on your truck, 2 in front of the convertor

and 2 past the convertor. an o2 sensor measure's the fuel/air mixture then sends

a signal back to your trucks computer or ecm- electronic control module. so that

the fuel mixture can be adjusted to give you better power and gas mileage. check

for locations by starting at engine and working your way back on the exhaust, it will

look like a short narrow tube with 2 wires attached embedded on your exhaust pipes.

good luck!

Where did you see that a code said to change something?

Codes are usually sensors reporting an out of range condition
& setting an OBD Malfunction Check Light

You have to component test all sensors,or any system or part & it has to
fail a test, or it doesn't get replaced.

When you get codes your best & really only choice, is to purchase
the Factory Powertrain Control / Emissions Manual,so you can
follow trouble charts. Any other approach is waste of time, as you
have no knowledge of the system your about to work on.

If you plan on working on your own vehicles, you need all the manuals,
several hundred dollars worth, for each vehicle you own.

Can't work on something you know nothing about,need reference
material,the pros have that with the Alldata System, they spend a few
thousand a year on

My 96 maxima wont pass emissions in az after replacing 02sensor and knock sensor.do i need to drive it to reset comp?

I would say 10 to 20 miles would be enough to tell if the trouble codes will return. You may be able to disconnect the battery for a couple of hours to clear the codes, but using a scanner or code reader is better.
A scanner or code reader can find history trouble codes on some models and in some cases without the engine light being on.
The purpose of the warning light is to tell the driver the vehicle needs attention now.

My check engine light is on and i had it checked and it said that the computer recognized a rich or lean condition on the engine bank only what could it be?

this could be a bad 02 sensor on the bank that was indicated with the code.it can be checked out with a graphing meter to see the pattern and voltage that the 02sensor is showing.if the sensor is bad then it will have to be replaced.

Escort has engine light on, diagnostics say 02 sensor is out, both were replaced, same code for 02 sensor bad shows up, replaced again, same code shows up

MOST OF THE TIME AN 02 CODE DOES NOT MEAN REPLACE 02 SENSOR..SOME AUTO PARTS STORES WILL SCAN YOUR CAR..TELL YOU CODE 02 SO PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY REPLACE SENSORS...IF YOU CLEAR THE CODES DOES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME BACK ON RIGHT AWAY OR DOES IT TAKE A LITTLE TIME... IF IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME THEN YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSING THE EMMISSIONS TO BE OUT OF RANGE.. IF THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON RIGHT AWAY YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND ECM....MAIN COMPUTER.....OR SECONDLY POSSIBLE PROB IN THE MAIN COMPUTER...GET SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS AND FIND THE EXACT CODE THAT RETURNS THEN GET BACK WITH ME FOR MORE HELP

'07 Tahoe; check engine light on steady. Just came

Have a dealer or garage check your Oxygen (O2) sensor. As a quick fix, try disconnecting and reconnecting your car battery. Sometimes this will reset the check engine light.Good Luck!

Check Engine light on!!!!!

its the O2 sensor for sure. normally, its good practice to change the sensor when changing out the muffler and cat system. doing it all together will prevent the sensor from faulting.
