Dude I've been a Master Tech for close to 40 years and I ran across your video and had to watch this for some reason. You did an absolutely amazing job of describing the sensor system. Bank 1 is always where your number one spark plug is. I have tried many many times to explain that just because a code comes up for a sensor doesn't always mean that the sensor is bad. always check your connection as many times all I've had to do is unplug the sensor then plug it back in clear the codes and see if it comes back. anyway, keep up the good work and keep doing it yourself
I have perhaps two days more experience than you with auto repair and had the same problem come up on my Honda CRV recently. I managed the replacement after watching hours and hours of video in preparation. Now I find yours that is superior to 90% of what I watched. Just wanted you to know and be encouraged to carry on making instructional videos. The more I study on TH-cam, the more I’m convinced that being able to make a really good video is some kind of gift, and quite rare.
I do not know why 56 people gave this video a thumbs down. I have watched many youtube car repair videos and this is one of the best ones. BTW im a tech at a hyundai dealer and yes always use the factory oem 02 sensors grate job on this video Frank and thank you
Great video Frank. Very straightforward. The left bank/right bank explanation was helpful. Just finished doing the two upstream sensors on my 2011 Tacoma V-6 4wd. I bought my Denso sensors from Amazon. Same price as Rock Auto but free and quicker shipping. I didn’t know that the chain auto parts stores might do price matching until you mentioned the deal you got from O’Reilly. The hardest and most painful part of the job is reaching and disconnecting the wire connectors.
You pretty much just paraphrased the entire video. Thanks for the compliment and I agree that is definitely the hardest part. Thanks for watching Brian
Just scrolling & popped up 02 Sensor. Then yours popped up, so as i listened to your Honesty, got to admit ! You made it so clear, that it gave me confident that even me a DIY will give it a try. @ the moment, no 02 Sensor problem. 🙂 Aloha from Hawai'i Mahalo 🤙
Rock Auto is my best friend & I as a retired Mechanic gives this Frank 100% Passing mark!! Like he really said DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! You got my Thumbs up Frank!! ;👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, pal, and I do mean GREAT. You covered everything necessary for a sensor change and then some. Disregard those 'thumbs down' complainers, they are lame. You were as good as ANYONE I've ever seen.
!!!!!! Yep I Agree !!!!! Good comment. I'veseen a lot of YT vids Very few ( there are some ) are this well done. You here, "this thing here. Put that thing there." And you can't see anything on the vid bc of bad camera work. And some vids like that are done by mechanics.
Check engine light came one. Ran the code. Took truck in for an estimate, it might be this, it might be that. F**k that. Watched your video and grew some balls to do the work myself. It was an O2 sensor. Thank you for the tips. It worked. Now I can buy more gun parts with the money I saved. You da man!
Great explanations and tips for a non-mechanic novice. I'd also suggest some dielectric grease in the sensor connector to forestall any future issues with moisture, rain, mud, etc. If your OBDII scan tool will not clear the code nor cancel the dash Check Engine light, you can also disconnect the battery for a few seconds. Be advised first, however, you have the radio code which may be necessary to reactivate the radio after losing power. Also first write down whatever radio stations are in memory since those will also be lost.
thx my guy! you just saved me a few hundred bucks for a mechanic to replace mine! i was expecting it to be a huge repair job but im definitely going to do it myself i have a 3rd Gen 4Runner (99 SR5 4x4) im glad i found your video & im thankful for guys like you always looking out & passing on information to people like myself who know nothing about cars or anything so big thx again brother!! this is my first car so i’m definitely gonna try to replace & repair everything myself that needs to be done. keep doing what you’re doing man good luck & be safe!
Had the same check engine code and found my way here. I have the 4cyl version of your truck and it's exactly where you said it was. Got it replaced in about 10 minutes. Thanks.
Thanks Frank. I have a 2013 Toyota Venza (V6 3.5 L engine) and I suspect it is an O2 sensor problem. Don't want to go to the dealership. Your video has helped me a lot and I am going out to buy a scan tool and trouble shoot the problem. Great video and very honest. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much! As a single female this stuff can be very intimidating and unfortunately unknowledgeable people get taken advantage of so thank you thank you helped me more than you know!
This is why I like working on people's vehicles and teaching them as I work on the vehicle, I like passing knowledge on so people don't get taken advantage of......
You are a natural. Great camera work, great presentation and I learned a lot. I have an oxygen sensor to replace and an air charge temperature sensor if I can find it.
Good on you for having the courage to do the job yourself. I bet the feeling of self sufficiency is very satisfying . Thanks for passing on the information.
Thanks bro,you are real ,you sensitized alot of us ,I'm planning on getting one of those trucks in the future, I try to do some stuff myself to,A tonne of respect to you bro
Thanks Frank, that was alot of help. I appreciate you taking the time to show us non mechanics doit yourselfers. I got jeep liberty saying bank 1 sensor 2. So I'm assuming that's driver side downstream. Wish me luck and thanks again. Great job
Thanks Frank, I found this video interesting, easy to follow and helpful. I found it helpful that you showed the two sensors on cam so now I know what to look for. Just wish you would have explained where on the truck the plug in connector went to.
I believe sensor end of the O2 sensor screws into the exhaust and the wires should plug into a connector which will lead back to the ECM (engine control module or the 'brain'). Hope this helps
I've done most of the work on my own cars since I started driving cars, which is closing on 40 years. I currently drive a 2013 Kia Soul, which has direct fuel injection, and I discovered my main problem on the fuel side. Any car which uses direct fuel injection is going to have a [version of a] device mounted somewhere on the valve cover, which is called a High Pressure Fuel Pump. And this is my helpful story: Leaving the house, my car car starts choking and won't accelerate at all. I can start it, but it only stays running at idle, so I limp it back to the house. I was getting codes for running rich, and for a faulty catalytic converter. Check O2 sensors (mine is 4-cyl, so only two OXY. sensors), they're old and bad. Replaced the O2 sensors. Checked for exhaust leaks, found two small ones and patched them. Car runs again, but still showing the same codes, and still getting the smell of unburnt gas, a.k.a. running rich = too much fuel. No vacuum leaks found. Start investigating the fuel system. I disconnected both bat. terminals, then disconnected the pump. Upon removal, I quickly discovered that my High Press. Fuel Pump was leaking down into the valve cover. There is a heavy spring on the bottom of the pump, which is actuated by the camshaft. Between the pump spring and the camshaft is a part called the 'follower', which has a roller bearing on the bottom, and which is what actually pushes against the spring mechanism to drive / actuate the pump. (This bearing 'follower' is going to be replaced, also. If it fails and sheds debris inside the valve cover, it could easily cause major mechanical damage to the valves and the motor.) Also, when the bearing gets worn and starts to get some play in it, it makes a rattling noise that sounds like valve lifters knocking. Because the fuel pump is leaking from the bottom, and into the valve cover, there are fuel vapors from unburnt fuel building up inside the valve cover. The fuel is also mixing with my oil and thinning it out, wrecking the viscosity of the oil. If my car hadn't chocked out from failed sensors, I might not have discovered my fuel pump issue in time to avert larger problems. If you have a vehicle with direct fuel injection, and you're smelling gas, and the car is throwing p-codes that it's running rich, or the cat. converter has failed, pull the high pressure fuel pump and check if it's leaking down along the spring into valve cover body. If it is, replace it asap. I would strongly recommend installing a new follower bearing, as well. Point is, the codes don't always tell the whole story, or always help to determine the best way to begin your trobleshooting / diagnosis, because the codes are not always giving the full picture. Granted, the scanner I used I borrowed from my brother, and I wasn't overly impressed with its available features. Start by checking those things which only require a few tools to remove and diagnose, and the cost of a little time and elbow grease. Like the working condition of your high pressure fuel pump, for example. My codes said exhaust leak, faulty fuel pressure sensor, bad cat., and none of those were the principle issue. A multi-meter is an essential tool to test and troubleshoot the performance of many components on your car.
This video popped up "recommended". So I watched full view. Helpful content. As a non mechanic DIYer (been a DIYer before DIYer was a thing LOL) I often have to do some research. Unfortunately been given wrong advise way too many times. The anti-seize will save you some future headaches. Just a DIY tip, I use 50% acetone/ 50% transmission fluid to help free rusted sensors, bolts etc. Found it to be as effective as any rust bustor that I bought, always handy & less expensive. Added another 👍 to the 5.7k you already received. Nice job. Stay well, Joe Z
It's nice to see someone who is articulate enough to explain repair in a simple English manor for all to understand. Unfortunately, my 2006 Tacomas Bank 1 isn't as easy to get to. They re-engineered the location from the inner side of the header to the top for ease of access.
You say very humbly that you aren't a mechanic, well l say that you are, you show a deep understanding of, and solution for, what mechanics have to resolve and deal with every day. Thanks for your common sense solution to a common problem for people out there that don't know. From this old mechanic of many years. 🌈
So glad I found this video for an explanation of the sensors alone! I got error code p0051 and that gave me an issue with Bank 2 Sensor 1. Now I know that it’s driver side and upstream from the cat! I gotta order the part and I’ll update when I get it all together! Thanks again!
Clear and to the point. Thanks. I've been thinking about 02sensors and the MAF sensor on my 2007 Dodge Magnum, although with only 64k miles on the Magnum I'm going to give them a look. Thanks again. Dean Seattle
Thank you Frank! I like you who do not know anything about O2 stuff. Paid a lot of money for new ones and to mechanic for replace the old ones, "Check Engine" light still back on after few days. I decided educated myself and change them by myself.
I just replaced all 4 of my 02 sensors for the price of $136. Borrowed the tool from my local auto parts store and did it right in my driveway. Dealerships and chain auto repair shops was quoting me around$237-400 to replace 1 sensor, just for labor. I never pay anymore to work on my vehicle when I can do the job myself
@@TH-camiscool865 The O2 sensors that have been working as well or better (might be exactly the same) as OEM are $45 and $47 respectively) are Denso on Amazon for my Tundra. Likely similar for the Taco. Bought anti-seize and a tool similar to that in video as well, inexpensive. Even adding the cost of the OBD2 reader, the whole lot costs less than one O2 sensor replacement at the stealer-ship. And now I'm ready if they ever again pop up.
Good-on-ya! It's so rewarding to be able to function independent of the Motor-Mill. I have a 26 year old Jeep and a 57 year old Volvo. I'm getting to know each vehicle better and better each time I do an upgrade or preventative maintenance.
Thank you, very helpful video. Just a couple tips for future videos if you care for them. I’m not sure if that was insects or something in the background that was screeching so loud but it made it difficult to concentrate and not get irritated with it. And on a much smaller note, it seemed very apparent you weren’t looking into the camera but off to the side. Not that it matters, I just noticed and figured I would mention in case you cared. Thank you again for the video.
Good video, let me add something for the guy that either doesn't want to buy that tool or can't afford to buy it. Cut the wires on the bad one and use a 7/8 box end wrench or whatever size yours is. You get better leverage. Good job on the video. Shade tree mechanic here.
To release the connector, first push the connector closed tight, push down on the tab at the very back of the female connector whilst pulling on the male connector. If you're removing your old O2 sensor, you can pull on the cable as it doesn't matter if you put stress on them.
Hay, Thank you for your video, I already changed 2 sensors on my car. 2 more sensors to replace. Learn more in your video. I bought the parts from dealer, almost $700. I should watch your video before Buy the parts.
I'm glad this worked out for you this time. In the future avoid places like Rock Auto and O'Reilly's, and eBay. If you can't afford the genuine item from the dealership the best thing to do is buy from NAPA. NAPA carries the best parts and sometimes better parts than the the dealer. The other parts places are too worried about competitive costs and have the cheapest made parts as a result.
lol. nothing wrong with RockAuto. you just don't know how to use the site. Napa is only good depending on location, mine never has anything and 2-3x the price of RockAuto for same part.
I had P00051a bank 1 sensor 2 on a 2016 Trd sport had just put in a URD y pipe cat delete; what put was an O2 sim or oxygen spacer; cleared codes with obd2 and then unplugged the battery for a couple minutes and it’s back to normal👌 video was definitely helpful
I learned bank 1 is passenger side the hard way too. In case anyone is wondering, P0420 is bank 1 downstream sensor, P0430 is bank 2 down stream sensor.
For not being a mechanic, you did very well! Denso all the way with Toyota, Bosch for anything German, A/C Delco for GM, Motocraft for Ford. Definitely go with Rock Auto for any parts that you need. Kudos! :)
Great job, very informative and very thorough thanks so much for the great heads up information and the money savings especially this time in this financial crisis.
I love this kid: "I don't know what this thing does or what it's function is. But I know how to use the internet. I have a socket kit and wrenches so I can change it myself." BEAUTIFUL! My kind of TH-camr!
Ive been a fabricator/ mechanic for 30+ years but one of the best pieces of advice i ever got was from my stepdad who was a mechanic for 50 years is ( never be afraid to wreck a piece of equipment, everything can be fixed) meaning dont be afraid to try its the only way to learn
thankyou, i can see your saving many a lot of money here, however, i am afraid to do it myself, i need you to come to southern Iowa and do it for me! 🙂
Before you order or buy a replacement sensor, Always check it first! I have unplugged them and plugged them back in and not had any more issues and I've unscrewed them, cleaned them up and re-installed them without any more issues!

Give this guy some credit here. He knows more about O2 sensors then he even realizes. Way to go!

Thank you again for the video.
Thank you. I'm buying a Taco with a bad sensor. This helps get me started. Much appreciated.
I’m glad I could help you. Anymore questions feel free to ask I will help if I can. Thanks for watching
Good video, let me add something for the guy that either doesn't want to buy that tool or can't afford to buy it. Cut the wires on the bad one and use a 7/8 box end wrench or whatever size yours is. You get better leverage. Good job on the video. Shade tree mechanic here.
Thanks, Frank! Maybe I shouldn't say this until I actually replace it, but this was a big help.
Hope it all goes great for ya thanks bruce
To release the connector, first push the connector closed tight, push down on the tab at the very back of the female connector whilst pulling on the male connector.
If you're removing your old O2 sensor, you can pull on the cable as it doesn't matter if you put stress on them.
This is the best explanation I have being searching something like this thanks for helping out
Good job, Frank. Very thorough and helpful. Thanks.
Really glad I could help thanks for watching
👍 this guy has a servants heart ! He'd pull over and change a tire for a lady good man, God bless him !
An not just for a pretty lady lol 👍
Great video, a hot engine makes it easier to loosen good to know thank you
This is a smart video - right down to how to release the connector. Thanks, really nice.
Can you please make a video of 06 nissan murano and where is the fuel pressure sensor is located. You the best teacher I have ever seen. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment but I'm sorry I dont have a murano. I'm sure someone else shows how to do it online somewhere though
Hay, Thank you for your video, I already changed 2 sensors on my car. 2 more sensors to replace. Learn more in your video. I bought the parts from dealer, almost $700. I should watch your video before Buy the parts.
Thanks my guy. Am thinking of doing this myself,i hop it will be as easy as you have showed here. Pls keep such video coming,they are very educative.
God bless u bro..u honest person u save as from all robery mecanic
I'm glad this worked out for you this time. In the future avoid places like Rock Auto and O'Reilly's, and eBay. If you can't afford the genuine item from the dealership the best thing to do is buy from NAPA. NAPA carries the best parts and sometimes better parts than the the dealer. The other parts places are too worried about competitive costs and have the cheapest made parts as a result.
lol. nothing wrong with RockAuto. you just don't know how to use the site. Napa is only good depending on location, mine never has anything and 2-3x the price of RockAuto for same part.
This is a good dude. Thank you sir.
I had P00051a bank 1 sensor 2 on a 2016 Trd sport had just put in a URD y pipe cat delete; what put was an O2 sim or oxygen spacer; cleared codes with obd2 and then unplugged the battery for a couple minutes and it’s back to normal👌 video was definitely helpful
Great video! Helped me out a lot. Thanks.
Frant you explain the whole in perfect order.
Great common mans opinion and trying to help people... Great to see. Thank you
Outstanding job. I am going to try this on my Jeep.
Thanks good luck. If you think I can help just message me on here
You weren't a mechanic, but you became one. Better than one.
Thanks means a lot
Simple to the point. Great video thanks for sharing.
I learned bank 1 is passenger side the hard way too. In case anyone is wondering, P0420 is bank 1 downstream sensor, P0430 is bank 2 down stream sensor.
For not being a mechanic, you did very well! Denso all the way with Toyota, Bosch for anything German, A/C Delco for GM, Motocraft for Ford. Definitely go with Rock Auto for any parts that you need. Kudos! :)
Also, if you can afford it, replace all 4, or at lease S1 and S2 on the bank you're working on.
Great delivery of very useful info! Thanks for the video!!
thank you!
Outstanding. Frank, thank you so much.
Sure thing thanks for watching!

Great job, very informative and very thorough thanks so much for the great heads up information and the money savings especially this time in this financial crisis.

This is by far, The best.
Great info. on know how.

Thank you Frank !! I like saving money too !
I love this kid: "I don't know what this thing does or what it's function is. But I know how to use the internet. I have a socket kit and wrenches so I can change it myself." BEAUTIFUL! My kind of TH-camr!
Why would I pay someone when I can do it myself? Thanks for the comment Mike
Ive been a fabricator/ mechanic for 30+ years but one of the best pieces of advice i ever got was from my stepdad who was a mechanic for 50 years is ( never be afraid to wreck a piece of equipment, everything can be fixed) meaning dont be afraid to try its the only way to learn
I loved the way you explained things. Good video.
thankyou, i can see your saving many a lot of money here, however, i am afraid to do it myself, i need you to come to southern Iowa and do it for me! 🙂

Thanks Jim
Please I need his phone number,.
I am electrical engineer of auto cars and is I need his phone number..please help
Before you order or buy a replacement sensor, Always check it first! I have unplugged them and plugged them back in and not had any more issues and I've unscrewed them, cleaned them up and re-installed them without any more issues!
