How to replace 2005 Subaru Forester XT downstream O2 sensor

In this video I replace the downstream o2 sensor on my 2005 second generation Forester XT. My check engine light came on along with my cruise control blinking with the error code P2097
Here is the O2 Sensor: amzn.to/2rUTwJk
Here is the socket: amzn.to/2rrkOFt
Here is some anti seize: amzn.to/2rUY6ao
And some zip ties: amzn.to/2suaKdw

Thank you for this. It's straight forward, something I can do myself.

[@rondie.x53]

Boy oh boy you made that so much simpler than anyone else. THANKYOU. I'm gonna !!!

[@jessevennard2640]

I laughed so hard when you said “twerk it down”. That would be amazing to watch yet so painful. I think you meant “torque” it down. Love you!!!

[@marcuslongmate4478]

Super helpful video. About to do this on my same gen Legacy. Thanks :)

[@thomassawyer1228]

Thank you. An excellent video!

Hi ..... I watch your videos related to Subaru and love the way you explain issues and suggest solutions. Its matter of time that i am struggling with an issue with my Subau Forester, 2005, 2.0X, Non-turbo. I recently cleaned my throttle body, PCV valve, TPM sensor, MAP sensor, EGR valve and IAC valve. After refitting them in car, my Suby behaving awkward way. Idle RPM are gone high and there is a fluctuation. Same time i am getting some oil burning / overheating smell with some smoke coming up from somewhere down near catalytic converter/ drive shaft boot. Please give some clue on these two issues. Thanks a ton bro for help.....:-))

[@bergatube60]

This is a very nice presention,. one question, I have the engine lamp, the cruise controll lamp and the antiskid lamp, I think the OBD2 code was P0140, ? the OBD2 reader wrote secundary o2 valve something? Is that what this is about?

[@penquinsrule82]

Did replacing your fownstream o2 sensor fix your problem. I am having the same issue with my car.

[@JRobling]

Yes, once I reset the battery to get rid of the code it has never come back on.

[@tedwadzinski1627]

you should a video about upstream sensor

[@JRobling]

I will in the future, those bas boys are waaaay more expensive than the downstream

[@ksamyui]

@@JRobling Are they in the downpipe or the up-pipe on the 2004/5 SG 2.5XT?

[@ggun1597]

Hey so I did exactly everything you said in your video, and my check engine light still came back with the same code. Any suggestions?

[@thevoid3783]

try replacing catalytic converter?

[@fiarydeath]

Is the upstream video up yet by chance?

[@JRobling]

I haven't had the money for one yet

[@brandontharp6960]

Is this the same way to replace the O2 sensor on an Outback or would it be different?

[@JRobling]

I can tell you for sure but in pretty sure they are the same or very close. Subaru love catalytic converters and o2 sensors

[@brandontharp6960]

J Robling thanks!! This will be my second O2 sensor to be replaced in my ‘05 outback and I figured I would try to replace myself!! Thanks for the vid and part recommendation.

[@johndavid6587]

Could this also fix a P420 code?

[@keating15]

Yes

[@johncommon4294]

I've replaced both sensors and error code is still there. Hi fuel consumption. I've checked, when i start the engine, heater works and the signal goes toward 1V on both. So the sensors work and their heaters. Where possibly look for?

[@bzier138]

You figure it out? I've had this problem for years now

[@refresh77]

Catalytic converter?

[@jackgraybill3218]

Would it be the same process for a 2006 XT? The error code I got was P0137

[@JRobling]

Yes, my 2005 XT should be the exact same as the 2006

[@JRobling]

As far as I know it's the same process, the engines are the same

[@joshuavlach207]

What code would determine the downstream sensor?

[@JRobling]

In description

[@007MegaRoll]

I have subaru 2006 and oxygen sensors are no where to be found and definitely not like on this video.Entire exhaust pipe has no sensors in it.

[@bornfourthis635]

I know this comment is late but I have a 06 LL bean probably the same as yours and my sensors are in the engine bay area by the manifold

[@letsRegulateSociopaths]

good, so I am NOT crazy.

[@kevinmiller4486]

@@letsRegulateSociopaths The downstream O2 has to be after the cat.

Jesus Christ, easy on the ridiculous intro.
