There are two sensors on a 1999 Villager. The upstream sensor is located in the exhaust manifold at the front of the engine. It could be right on top mounted straight up or further down mounted sideways. The downstream sensor is located in the exhaust pipe right behind the catalytic converter. If you have a check engine light that comes on due to an indicated O2 sensor fault, the problem may not be the sensor itself. (Keep in mind that the upstream sensor actively monitors the air/fuel ratio and sends a variable feedback signal to the PCM. The PCM uses the downstream sensor for the catalyst monitor system and does not affect the air/fuel ratio). Check the wiring from the O2 sensor to the PCM for shorts or open wires. Check for proper voltage from the sensor by back probing the connector with a straight pin. Turn the ignition ON but do not start the engine. Connect a DIGITAL voltmeter TO a good ground and the positive lead (usually the center wire) of the O2 sensor SIGNAL wire at the connector. It should give a reading between 400 and 450 millivolts (.40 to .45. volts). If not, trace and repair the circuit. CAUTION: DO not probe the wires of the O2 sensor or the harness as the circuit is very sensitive to excessive circuit loads or circuit damage of any kind.
