Chevrolet 1500: 02 Sensor Codes With NEW Sensors Installed?

In this video I have a look at 2012 Chevrolet 1500 that came in with the engine light on with some O2 Sensor codes (P0053 & P0134). He said he replaced the O2 Sensors on bank 1 but is still having the issue. The part is NEW so could it really be bad or is there something else wrong?

One thing I have noticed alot with watching your videos is that American cars have terrible cable management, and you get all sorts of rub spots. When I did the rear brakes on my M5, the cable management for the wear sensor was an absolute work of art in comparison, weather proof boxes over any under-car cable plugs, rubber mounting grommets all the way along cables, and cable tie down points every few cm

Im a diy guy so in cases where I have two of something and one is working I check power and ground are good, if they both are I swap them. If the problem follows the part it has to be the part. O2 sensors, coils, plugs, injectors, and so on. It's not the quickest method in many cases and it's not the most sophisticated but it gives good info quickly. I like to see your more indepth approach though.

Test lights... Just the other day I was at the scrap yard for the purpose of scoping out some project steel for an upcoming hydraulic press tooling build. I scored a nice truck center link (tie rod bar/pipe) for the project. But, while in Rome and all that, I cut out numerous incandescent marker lights and tail lights to round out my simulated-load testing equipment. Once home the lights were extracted from their wiring looms, the ends stripped, and the raw copper wire solder tinned. Since I'm a DIY guy (setup speed not a priority), the tinned ends allow for alligator clips to configure probe pins and/or series/parallel configuration versatility. I also used an amp clamp to determine the draw of each light harness. The amp draw amount was Sharpied onto each bulb socket. So, I'm pretty much set with incandescent load stand-ins!

[@robertheinkel6225]

I retired my trailer, soldering all the connections, and using heat shrink on those connectors. About three months later, I started having wiring failures. After bypassing too many broken wires, I decided to retire it again. I determined my original solder I used was acid core, not Rosen core. The acid ate right thru my connections.

[@russellstephan6844]

Yep, acid core solder will make quick work of electrical connections. For what it's worth, I've been soldering electrical repairs and ad-ons for decades. I also keep the vehicles for decades. I have yet to have one of my dozens upon dozens of solder joins fail.

Kind of wish this video was out a few hours ago, I only just finished working on a car where the TCM was complaining of an accelerator fault the reading would suddenly lock to a specific number (about 20%) which turned out to be the ECM going into a "limp" mode of sorts because of a faulty fuel rail sensor connector..... I have to admit, I spent too long looking at accelerator related stuff because that's the number that stopped responding. Either way, problem fixed.

[@cacheman2937]

For those that watch this that are not technicians, at 12:20 when he says the resistance is 12.2 which means it's roughly 1 amp. It's not just pulling a number out of thin air. Techs use ohms law, or the pie chart when dealing with electricity to verify the right specifications. V(voltage) = i(current) x R(resistance). So if R = 12.4 and V = 12.4 then V12.4 ÷ R12.4= i 1 amp.

I used to do PDIs at the Cadillac dealer I worked at many years ago. On occasion during the inspection of a new car I would find components that didn't work on cars that had less than 10 miles on the odometer. So faulty new parts applies to OE automotive manufacturers as well as aftermarket.

[@602STS2]

Excellent video as usual. 👍 One thing I thought of here on this particular situation is that the "new" sensor was purchased and installed by the owner (or other shop) and there's no way of knowing it had ever been dropped or otherwise mishandled.
