Monitor B1 S2 with scanner that does live data with graphs. Graph for B1 S2 should be almost flat line at .5 volt or more with engine running at 2500 rpm for 10 minutes. If not check for vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks. Year, make, model and engine info would be helpful.
Faulty catalytic converter, or sensors in exhaust faulty
Yes, it can affect the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter.Yes, it can affect the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter.
If the o2 sensor is bad, replace it. If the sensors are activating the check engine light, then the codes should be checked. The catalytic converter could be blocked or the engine may not be running properly.
replace the o2 sensors should do it.
2 sensors. One is on the back of the engine near the wall of the engine compartment. the second one is on the exhaust pipe under the middle of the car near the catalytic converter. if you change both and you still have a check engine code. it may be the catalytic converter that is bad
There are sensors all over the engine that can turn the check engine light on.There are sensors all over the engine that can turn the check engine light on.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
Depends on the vehicle. Sometimes they are all the same. Sometimes the O2 sensors in front of the converter are heated while the rear ones aren't. But the main difference is that the front ones are the ones that effect how the engine runs. The rear ones don't effect how the engine runs. They are only there as a check on the catalytic converter.
You can not reset your oxygen sensors. You can only replace them. To reset the check engine light you will have to get that done by a repair shop with a computor. If replacing the sensors does not repair the problem then check for a vacuum leak.
Replace catalytic converter
Wrong scanner?? If a check engine light is on, there are codes. Timing sensor? Check engine usually means a problem... Service means that scheduled service needs to be performed like oil change, or timing belt replacement. I would Check your Catalytic Converter. What often happens is the catalyst that is in the Catalytic converter Heats up and Blows out into your Muffler. This means It is not the sensor,but your converter and Muffler Need Replaced.I have just fixed two cars with this problem,and they had the same symptoms,Check engine Light.
You have 2 options. Either you put your catalytic converter back on or you unplug the check engine light. Thanks for killing the environment.
