Where is the oxygen sensor on a 2007 rendezvous?

Answer 1

There are two oxygen sensors on my wife's 02 rendezvous. I replaced them less than 1 month ago, had a service engine soon indicator on the panel. The easy O2 sensor to replace is just after the catalytic converter. The other O2 sensor is on the exhaust manifold on the rear (near firewall) bank of cylinders. I was able to gain access to and replace this one from underneath the car reaching up around the exhaust pipe. It's not a difficult fix. You'll will need an O2 sensor socket and/or a O2 sensor wrench. I bought both at Autozone. The wrench (sold for Ford and SUVs, Greatneck tools) was about 30 dollars the socket about 10 dollars, autozone has a tool lending program and one of these tools was a part of that program, but of course they didn't have one availlable to lend. I figured I'd bring back the one I didn't use. As it turned out, I ended up using both, so didn't take back either. Including tools, it was still far less money than it would have been at the dealer. I had a printout of the cost of the sensors from rockauto.com, my autozone couldn't quite match rockauto's price, but they did deeply discount the sensors. They were quite helpful, so I gave autozone the business. I also bought a subscription for the ALLDATA repair manual on the Rendezvous. It was semifunctional, diagrams are poor. Judging from my chilton's manual for my camry, you'd be far better off getting a Chilton's repair manual for the rendezvous. I guess one buys the CD and they give the purchaser a code to unlock the specific model manual. Rockauto.com has it for less than if buying it from Chilton directly. Rockautos's price is about 13.99 not sure about shipping. I think I paid 30 dollars for the crappy ALLDATA manual. Goodluck
