I replaced lambda sensor which also had heat circuit failure, as one of the wires broke, yesterday on my Nissan Almera 2003. Did it while the engine was still pretty warm, but got it easily off and did not burn mysef. The old lambda itself was quite hot, but no so hot it would burn my bare hands. Keep up the good work with your videos! There's been plenty of helpful and money saving tips and tricks. Also as I'm going to school now to be a car mechanic here in Finland, yout tips and tricks have been very useful there too.

Hi Chris, I was told that it is a good practice to replace the O2 sensor every 100,000 km. The reason being old O2 sensor although it may be working but they aren't that accurate as it used to be thus the reading might be slightly off. Replacing a new one will be a more accurate reading which is improve fuel economy and engine power.

THANK YOU!! This video helped me get rid of my check engine light and helped me pass the smog check!! And I saved big MULaHs!!! I even got the same multimeter and same O2 brand as yours. The only thing missing here are more details on how to complete the driving cycle so the OBD2 can read the catalictic monitor after replacing the O2 sensor. It took me a while but I found out that Toyotas require a very specific driving cycle: first, drive at 45-55 mph for 7 minutes, then, drive at 35-45 for another 7 min. Speeds must be consistent and non-stop. For those of us who do not pass the smog check due to Catalytic monitor "not ready" or "incomplete", this driving cycle would do the trick. It did it for my Toyota Camry CE 2000. THANK YOU AGAIN!!

It helps to have the engine a little warm, the exhaust will be hot enough to make it easier to break the sensor loose. If the sensor is confirmed to be bad/dead, don't bother with the special socket to remove the bad sensor, just cut the wires and use a regular socket to remove it. But, a socket with the slot is needed to put the new sensor in. Never use dielectric grease in the connector, the O2 sensor gets reference air thru the wiring, the grease will block the air from wicking down the wires to the sensor, effectively rendering the sensor bad. The sensors have an air cavity in the body to sample outside air to use as a reference of oxygen content. The sensor uses the reference to send a signal to the pcm of the oxygen content of the exhaust. For those interested, Wells Vehicle Electronics has a video on their youtube channel that explains all about the narrow band O2 sensors. It's a long video, but it is very interesting and educational. Btw, i'm a Chrysler dealer tech.
@teravolt6113
@teravolt6113 6 жыл бұрын
Not only grease (i suppose we're talking about dielectric grease). Also avoid spraying electronics cleaner (or, even worse, brake cleaner, throttle body cleaner, carb cleaner...) on the connector, even the no residue one (the MAF cleaner is basically fast drying no residue electronics cleaner). It apparently gets inside the wiring and then it can't evaporate from inside there. This will make a good O2 sensor turn into a bad one too (for some reason regarding electrochemistry, it will start sending an always lean reading to the ECU) and you'll immediately need a new one... another good tip, if there are leaks/issues with pressure switches and anything in close contact with a pressurized fluid supply, replace the faulty switch or sensor soon, because the fluid leaking through the sensor/switch, be it motor oil, PS fluid, coolant, can over time travel through the engine wiring harness and foul both the ECU and the O2 sensors...

The wave of the 02 seems secondary to another issue in many cases. Like an EKG reveals an irregular heartbeat, the O2 sensor waveform will also reveal any underlying problems such as vacuum leaks, ignition misfire, injector imbalance and even compression losses. Each of these conditions will produce a characteristic type of hash in the sensor waveform. Anytime a cylinder misfires or leaks compression, unburned oxygen enters the exhaust. This shows up as a momentary dip in the O2 sensor's output voltage. So if the O2 sensor's waveform contains lots of little inverted spikes, it tells you the engine is misfiring or leaking compression. You can then use your other diagnostic equipment to nail down what is causing the problem. A "digital storage oscilloscope" (DSO), also known as a "dual trace scope," is unquestionably one of the most useful pieces of diagnostic equipment that is available today and prices for under 100 dollars for a basic bare bones model. This could help answer "is it cause or effect" type of questions underlying this and many other theories in the field.

Thanks for your video on this Chris. I tried cleaning my sensor in different ways & tested it but it was toast. Yesterday I got my new 02 sensor (Bank 2 Sensor 1) from Amazon for $67.39 Cdn. for my 2007 Honda Pilot. Installed it, disconnected the battery to clear the code, drove for over an hour = No Engine or VTM-4 codes. Very happy. Here's the part for anyone who needs it: Amrxuts 234-5010 5 wire wideband upstream.

Great video! I'd recommend to spray some WD-40 or PB Blaster to where the sensor threads with the engine off but still hot. It will loosen more the sensor. I had to replace this "Air/Fuel Ratio" sensor on my '05 Hyundai Elantra 3 years ago. It was around $165. I checked online on Advance Auto Parts, and found a promo code that took off $50. It was still expensive paying $115 for a air/fuel sensor, but cheaper than paying $165 + tax.

Many times you can tell that an O2 sensor is going bad even before your check engine light illuminates. Your gas mileage will start to get worse and worse because the sensor says that things are running lean so the ECU will add more fuel to richens up the mixture. I have a car with approximately 75K miles on it and I used to get about 300 miles +/- per tank but now it is in the low 200s. I still do not have a check engine light but should be showing up soon. I understand that you are trying to make your videos as clear as possible and try not to get into guessing games but this might be worth mentioning.

Usually the resistance is quite low, given that it is an heating resistance, so usually < 15 ohm, but I guess it depends on your model. In any case the most important is not to have an open circuit.

When tightening an o2 sensor, do not tighten it too hard, because they expand and contract from the heat. It should come off with less effort than that. That one was a bit too tight and it could have broken making it harder to get it off

I was always told that the downstream sensor does not affect fuel trims or mileage and that is Not true! The first purpose of the downstream 02 sensor is to measure cat efficiency. The second function is downstream fuel control. This function adjusts the upstream 02 goal voltage within the range of operation of the upstream sensor. The upstream goal voltage is used to ensure long cat life by allowing the PCM to control the amount of air and fuel that is supplied to the cat. If the downstream 02 sensor switch point is at a low voltage the PCM will adjust the upstream 02 goal voltage to reduce high 02 content by . If the downstream 02 sensor switch points stays high, the upstream 02 sensor goal voltage will change and allow a low 02 content. My fuel trims were in the negative 25 percent until I change my fixed rich downstream sensor.

O man I wish you worked on this car more. I just bought one with bad head gasket and bad clutch. I’m struggling. The axles don’t come off so I gave up on that for now and I’m making it up as I go taking apart the top of the engine. I reached the point to take this sensor out but I don’t have this socket and I’m stuck! 😢

When i get old vehicles I take a pair of side cuts and snip the wires and use a regular long socket because they are usually seized up after 100000 miles then use the O2 socket putting the new one in.The stress of removal can spread a O2 socket when removing the old sensor.
