An O2 sensor located before the catalytic converter (cat) is crucial for monitoring the air-fuel mixture entering the catalytic converter. It ensures optimal engine performance and emissions control by providing feedback to the engine control unit (ECU) for adjustments. A malfunctioning pre-cat O2 sensor can lead to poor fuel economy, increased emissions, and potential damage to the catalytic converter. Thus, its proper functioning is essential for both vehicle efficiency and environmental compliance.
before the cat , at the manifold
drivers side before the cat conveter.
02 Sensor? should be before the cat
One is before the cat. converter and one is between the cat. converter and the exhaust mainifold.
Bank 2 is pass side. Sensor one is pre cat, sensor two is post cat.
exaust leaks , faster if its before the 02 sensor
Bank 1 = Right side of the exhaustSensor 1 = the first 02 in line before cat.Sensor 2 = the last 02 in line after the cat.Bank 2 = Left side of the exhaustSensor 1 = the first 02 in line before cat.Sensor 2 = the last 02 in line after the cat.
02 sensor. Bank 1 Sensor 3, post cat
That is the pre - cat 02 oxygen sensor.
Use a 02 socket. The 2 sensor are located in front and behind the cat.
There are 2...On the exhaust manifold and after the cat. converter
upstream (front) sensor (before catalytic converter)
