The check engine light will appear. USUALLY A GOOD OBDII SCANNER WILL TELL YOU WHICH O2 SENSOR IS FAULTY EITHER BE A SPECIFIC CODE OR DIRECTLY. THE CHEAP SCAN TOOLS MAY ONLY TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE AN "o2 FAULT"

Cost to replace O2 sensor on a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero sport?

If its just one sensor, it is usually about $90 each sensor. Just a recommendation, do not use the wire yourself models, they don't last as long. Keep in mind that there are 4 02 sensors on that rig. You will need to get a obd unit to scan the problem and tell you what sensor on what bank is bad. Hope that helps

How do you replace the O2 sensor in a 1999 ford expedition?

First you need to determine which O2 sensor needs to be replaced, there could be up to 4 of them if you have duel exhaust. A bad O2 sensor would illuminate the check engine light in which case the code(s) stored would lead you to the faulty sensor. Once you have determined which O2 sensor needs to be replaced, unplug the O2 sensor harness from the vehicles harness. If you are replacing the sensor with a new one go ahead and cut the wires off of the old sensor. This will allow you to slip a 7/8" box wrench over the sensor to remove it CCW. Install the new sensor and tighten it with a 7/8" open end wrench and tighten as you would a spark plug. No need to over tighten it. Reconnect the new O2 sensor to the vehicles harness, done.

Where is the o2 sensor located before the cat on 1999 4runner v6 4wd and where is the airfuel sensor that may be mistaken for the pre cat o2 sensor?

The sensor between the cat and the engine is the air fuel ratio sensor, it looks like an o2 sensor. The o2 sensor is between the cat and the tail pipe. The forward sensor is the af sensor t he rear one is the o2 sensor. Thar answer is for the calif. vehicles. Fed may be different but I dont think the 4 runner had two o2s like some of the sedans. fairly visable tho.

What is the cause you are getting fault codes on all 4 O2 sensors on a 1997 ford Thunderbird with a 4.6 L I clear them and they all come back.?

cats maybe bad The problem causing the trouble codes must be addressed before clearing the codes will do any good. The O2 sensors will still be bad no matter how many times you do it. How do you know that all of the o2 sensors are bad? did you test them, did you get multiple codes for sensor failure displaying bank 1 sensor 1, bank 1 sensor 2, bank 2 sensor 1, and bank 2 sensor 2? Get a proper diagnosis, you are probably looking at 1 bad sensor and you need to know which one. On board diagnostics are great but they cannot self repair a vehicle.
