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.

How can you tell if a sensor is bad?

There a a few different ways to tell when a sensor is bad.

Otherwise, you would need diagnostic tools to monitor the sensors while the vehicle is running to know if they are out of range.
