The bank 1 O2 sensor on a Saturn Ion is typically located in the exhaust system, specifically before the catalytic converter. It is part of the engine's emissions control system and helps monitor the oxygen levels in the exhaust gases. To access it, you may need to raise the vehicle and look along the exhaust manifold or pipe. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for precise location and replacement instructions.
in the exhaust manifold or before the catalic converter
Yes, a malfunctioning oxygen (O2) sensor can potentially prevent your Saturn Ion from starting, particularly if it leads to a significant fuel mixture imbalance. While the car may still start in some cases, a faulty O2 sensor can cause poor engine performance, increased emissions, and trigger the check engine light. It's advisable to address any O2 sensor issues to ensure proper engine function and reliability.

To change the oxygen sensor on a 2006 Saturn Ion, first, ensure the vehicle is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Locate the O2 sensor, which is typically near the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter. Use a socket wrench to carefully remove the old sensor and replace it with a new one, ensuring it’s properly tightened. Finally, reconnect the battery and check for any warning lights on the dashboard.
You did not specify which O2 sensor it is. Is it sensor 1 bank 1, sensor 2 bank 2, sensor 2 bank 1, or sensor 1 bank 2. There are four O2 sensors on a mazda 626
usually bank 1 is the bank with # 1 cylinder in it and sensor # 1 is the front o2 sensor(usually in the manifold). You will need a O2 sensor socket or a 22mm wrench or deep socket.
P0137 = O2 sensor circuit low volts (bank 1 sensor 2). Could be a faulty B1 S2 O2 sensor.
Bank 1 is the bank of cylinders that contain the number 1 cylinder. O2 sensor 1 is the first O2 sensor in the exhaust system between the engine and the catalytic converter.

Is this bank 2 sensor 1 or sensor 2?
Bank 1 is the bank of cylinders that contain cylinder 1. The O2 Sensor 1 is the O2 sensor located in the exhaust system between the cylinder head and the catalytic converter, also known as the "upstream" O2 sensor.
That would be the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter.
