HOW TO KNOW IF OXYGEN SENSOR IS BAD demonstrated on BMW

HOW TO KNOW IF OXYGEN SENSOR IS BAD demonstrated on BMW
► OBD Scanner used in the video: amzn.to/2xFdf2F
► Our Website: mechaniclifestyle.com
Hey guys, in this video we will show you how we diagnosed a bad down stream oxygen sensor on BMW 7 series E65 and E66. We demonstrated on a 2003 BMW 745Li downstream oxygen sensor. Ours had a P0036 Code that was gone once we replaced the oxygen sensor. The repair playlist for BMW e65 e66: bit.ly/2snnW4b

Hey can you answer my question down???

[@trade1713]

Thanks for the video! Don't pay attention to those jerks discussing your voice, rather then valuable information you're providing here. Most of us here appreciate your effort you go to explain how different systems work on a particular car. Cheers!

[@danielandujar5479]

Man I don't know how human being are... As for me his voice give me confidence! Before I see your comment. I was telling my self: This is the kind of person I like to have On my side to learn more about how to Work or read scanners... Love kind people and respect for them period!!!

[@user-bs9mw1cz9o]

I just want to say thank you lol I’m a back yard mechanic and ur the best u helped me with a lot of my cars

[@jfazioli3941]

Thank you for your video guys I've been dealing with this same problem on my 2005 325xi. I've changed all o2 sensors except that same one but have the new one just having a hard time getting off the old 1 to put the new 1 in, but this video has shown me exactly what I was suspecting that was happening. So I can go ahead and take the measures needed to get my car back to 💯%. Thank you for your video I was great help. Keep it up guys.

[@sungn4512]

ARG, Great vid on interpreting OBD2 live data in regards to O2 sensors. Is it a bad idea to just replace all O2 sensors together in one fell swoop? Or just do the specific O2 sensor that triggered a failure? Just recently it tripped the downstream O2 sensor. I just got a used hi-mile 2009 Camry (175,000 miles) and did a huge tuneup. Im in the mode of replacing lots of items to ensure I know the baseline health of the vehicle. -----Thanks & keep up the great work.

[@senecaiii2009]

[@creativewebusa]

Great video! I have a 2008 M6 and my emissions light came on saying engine malfunction. Do you think it could be because of a bad oxygen sensor? I feel a slight decrease in performance too...

Hi guys thank you so much for your explanation this is so helpful and clear.

Kindly advise me and if possible send me a link on where to buy good spare. My code are 2CA7: Oxygen sensor heating before catalyc converter 2, function. 2C3F : Oxygen sensor before catalyc converter 2, line fault 2A87: Exhaust VANOS, mechanism 2DEC: Power management, battery monitoring

Have the same issue. Can anyone help me locate this sensor in BMW e92 N43? Cant find the part number of it. Help

[@brianbacich9999]

Love the video. Thank you

[@derekkchung]

You are looking for sensors 2, the downstream sensors which sole purpose is to tell the efficiency of the cat. They don't adjust fuel trim.

[@davidweum]

But, does it fix anything?

[@ir655]

For my diesel 530d I have 2 Nox sensors, the upstream one is bad, does this affect fuel economy or is it just to measure Nox before and after the SCR Cat?

[@some1watchingyt712]

Great video helped me a lot 😊

[@freemanmiracle7975]

Why it did not show O2B1S1 and O2B2S1 (pre-cat), is that both pre cat O2 are bad? What does O2SLOC means?

[@dbdb4665]

Can an oxygen sensor be faulty without reporting an DTC? What is the best way to test it, can it be cleaned maybe? I have problems on cold start for a few seconds the idle is rough, and afterward everything is good i would say. All glow plugs are changed and the relay too. The car is E91 LCI 318D 105kw 11/09, it has only 1 oxygen sensor I would say only on the DPF, next to the temperature exhaust sensor and the pipe for pressure sensor. Thank you for the answer in advance.

[@johndoes5643]

[@typhoon1493]

good stuff!

[@Mickey_Bauer]

It's the upstream O2 sensors (sensor 1) that are used for fuel ratio and they're supposed to go up and down on the graph between 100 and 900 mV approximately. You're looking at downstream sensors (sensor 2) which only show the catalytic converter efficiency and no, they are not supposed to go up and down and they don't control fuel ratios.

[@chrismoss9953]

Very late reply, but my car has a catalytic converter working below threshold code, however it also occasionally has a rough idle and tends to stall the engine. Could these be related? Is it actually the sensor after the cat that’s causing issues and could it be responsible for the engine dropping out?

[@Mickey_Bauer]

@@chrismoss9953 i'm not a professional mechanic, i just do this as a hobby but yes, it's absolutely possible your catalytic converter is getting clogged and it's chocking the engine. You can test it by taking out the "upstream" O2 sensor (not the the downstream one you're getting a code for) and connecting the exhaust pressure gauge. If you don't have one you can rent it from AutoZone or just try running the engine with the upstream O2 sensor removed. (You can find YT videos about these). This will trip the check engine light and it will make a lot of noise but if your car runs smooth and no longer stalling, chances are your catalytic is bad. In extreme cases catalytic converter can even fall apart and then your engine can suck in small pieces like on my dad's Altima and it will destroy it completely. Don't ignore it, get it checked. It's also possible that you just have a bad downstream sensor and the two issues are completely unrelated. The downstream sensor are usually much cheaper than the upstream. Go with the OEM sensor in case you decide to get one but do your troubleshooting first, don't just throw parts at your car. Rock auto is a good place to get them cheaper. Do you also feel power loss when accelerating?

Hi mi scaner not active sensor but i hace reeds.is normal?

[@dannyp6572]

Hi guys! Question, how important is it to replace O2 sensors in pairs? Or to have the 2 upstream or downstream to be the same brand? I have a 2011 328i Xdrive and I'm replacing bank 2 sensor 2, ordered an NTK, I believe original should be Bosch. Should I just attempt to clean the working bank 1 sensor 2 so there is a better chance they will work evenly?

[@simplelangperorock]

Great but it leaves a question. Did you replace the O2-sensor-B1 upstream before the catalytic? Or... O2-sensor-B2 downstream after the catalytic?

[@slyvillaestiva4299]

great video

[@bobgnops]

wow thank you

[@MsMatth33]

Looks like a good video. But the O2 sensor you show at the beginning is not a downstream sensor but an upstream sensor. There's no way the electrical cord is that short for a downstream sensor. That is short because its an upstream.

[@pachokardana6192]

Много ме кефи тоя български акцент :)

[@FramboyanDanceCompany]

After you change the sensor do you have to reprogram something or just deleting the code will be enough?

[@madurosfinancialadvisor1360]

Got a question, replaced all sensors and catalytic converter on 2009 for Ford escape, v6. Keeps tripping sensors even after we've replaced them. It starts with the o2 sensor on engine. Any suggestions? For my 75yr old father and it won't pass inspection. Spent a ton of money. Killing me

[@sungn4512]

which sensor is tripping? Downstream? Then perhaps both sensors front and rear of CAT are fine and that the CAT has failed, resulting in unsynchronized rear O2 sensory data.

[@alhart6665]

Jace L sounds like fuel delivery issues then , think simple things fuel filter, injectors, ect. As the o2's are new. Fuel flow restriction, plugged fuel filter/ injectors.
