the o2 sensor is in the exaust manifold or down pipe it looks like a sparkplug with wires
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.
its located on exhaust manifold looks like a spark plug with awire on it.
It is always located right after the manifold. It looks like a spark plug with a wire going to it.
O2 sensor circuit bank 1 sensor 2 no activity. Check the wiring and connections to bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor, if all looks good replace the sensor.
In the exaust manifold. If you raise the hood and look down on the front of the engine, you will see the exaust manifold, and there will be a sensor screwed into the middle of that manifold. That is the O2 sensor. There is another sensor further down the exaust system that looks just like it that some people mistake for an O2 sensor, but that sensor is called a catalyst moniter. But the one you can see while standing in front of the car with the hood up is the O2 sensor.
An O2 sensor unscrews just like a spark plug.
Bank 2 sensor 1, O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction. If the wiring and the electrical connection to the B2 S1 sensor looks okay, replace the O2 sensor. The B2 S1 O2 sensor is on the passenger side exhaust pipe directly after the exhaust manifold.
My understanding was that it had something to do with the O2 sensor not working properly.
There are two. To trace these looks for the yellow fire resistant wrapped wires at the firewall at back of engine compartment. The front O2 sensor runns from there to the a point below on the exhaust manifold and seat in just at the "throat" of the Cat converter. The "rear " O2 sensor continues down and is seated "after" the Cat Converter. Gat the O2 sensor removal wrench and open end wrench much like a plummers faucet wrench that will access the O2 sensors. Makes the job that must easeier to remove the O2 sensors.
Depends on what the problem is or what code was set.
O2 sensor CKT slow response (bank 1 sensor 1). Sounds like a tired B1S1 O2 sensor if all the connections are good.
