Guest cluckinchicken Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hello, i'm new to this forum & in need of some dire help of trying to locate the bank 2 drivers side O2 sensor. I kinda half-assed looked for it & realized it might be beyond me in trying to find it. I've gotten my codes read twice (P0158 the 2nd time, didn't give code the 1st time) & both times they told me it was the o2 sensor. i've got the part & ready to be installed, but i've got no clue on where to find it. can someone give me an idea of where to trace along to find it? bear in mind, i'm the biggest auto retard ever, so you'll have to speak in lehmans terms... i was told its on the drivers side, which narrows my search halfway. then they said it's after the catalytic converter, which i have no idea what it looks like or where it's at...so if someone could help, I would REALLY appreciate it! much thanks! tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialsin26 Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) It's right under your driver's seat on the exhaust pipe after the cat. You can't miss it. It look like a spark plug with two wire sticking out of it. If you got an OEM O2 sensor double check the the color of the wires. I think Bank 2 Sensor 2 has a gray wire and blue wire?????? Hope that helps. Edited January 25, 2005 by Trialsin26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cluckinchicken Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 so i FINALLY got my O2 sensor replaced, but my light remained on when i started my truck. i thought i read that you are suppose to disconnect the negative on the battery for like 24hrs....is that right? thanks!

Trialsin26 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Just go to autozone (if they have it in your area) or some other parts store and most of them will check and rest it for free. Or you can do the battery thing and that might work, but I would go somewhere and get it cleared. Edited January 28, 2005 by Trialsin26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbinh Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 (edited) Autozones here in Houston refuse to reset the SES light. Said it was illegal. If it was the correct part to replace then the light will reset itself after a few cycles. Give it a week or so to cycle through ECM test conditions and reset itself. If you can't wait, put key in ignition on the "on" position but do not start. Disconnect negative cable and be careful not to cause too many sparks. Leave for about 20 minutes to drain residual power. Reconnect neg. cable and that should do it. Good luck.
