There is a possibility of up to 4 oxygen sensors on a typical internal combustion engine.
They are typically numbered according to their "bank", meaning which head they sense. Bank 1 is typically the same side as cylinder 1 on the engine.
Sensor 1 is typically the sensor that is at the junction of the manifold and headpipe. Sensor 2 is the sensor that is behind the catalytic converter. Note that sensor 2 seldom fails.
So...
If you are being told that sensor 1 has failed, and it's a 4 cylinder, inline engine, you should examine the oxygen sensor that is at the base of the exhaust manifold, which, by the way, is the most frequent sensor to fail. You should plan to replace THOSE oxygen sensors every 50,000 to 60,000 miles as part of routine maintenance.
Follow the exhaust manifold down to where it connects to the headpipe. There, where all of the exhaust lines merge, you should see an electrical wire. It' connected to the front oxygen sensor.There may be an additional oxygen sensor AFTER the catalytic converter, but those seldom fail.
question 1, is the exaust leaking? if so,this is the problem improper air flow is fooling the o2 sensor, the sensor is bad. or the car thinks its cold all the time, if the exaust is leaky near the 02 sensor, this will cause it. that means the sensor is good also, fix exaust first, id recomend, got 2 sl2's
Saturns 91-02 are distributorless engines and therefore have no ignition timing adjustments.
From my experience, the only oxygen sensor that works correctly is the one from the dealer.
where is the secondary 02 sensor on a 2004 crv
No such thing exists on a 91-02 Saturn s-series. The above is correct... mostly. Saturn did not use a physical camshaft positioning sensor on any of its S-series vehicles. There is however a pseudo camshaft pulse generated by the ignition control module and sent to the computer. If you are receiving faulty cam position sensor trouble codes, the problem exists in the Ignition control module.
Hi Every one Can you help meWhere Is the heater 02 sensor and heater circut fault sensor 1 for 1999 Honda Civic?
There is an 02 sensor ahead of the catalytic converter and one downstream of it.
Bank 1 sensor 1 was the upstream 02 sensor located before the catalytic con on my 03.
the black wires are for the heater circuit, the blue and white are the sensor wires. the universal sensor probably wont work though, its best to bite the bullet and get the correct one from toyota.
Bank one is the side of the engine with cylinder #1. Sensor two is after the catalytic converter.
