In todays video i will show you Best way to clean o2 sensors
if you willing to clean your cars oxygen sensor: Watch this before cleaning oxygen sensor, and also i will be answering some of your questions: should we use anti seize on oxygen sensor? can we clean oxygen sensor with ultrasonic cleaner
so i will cover all that in this video

Never seen a resurrected O2 sensor with any cleaning methods . Need new one!
That's a lie soak in break cleaner
That works if you can get the sensor out without destroying it. Sometimes going new is better. Heat cycles are bad on parts. Resistance change.
Maybe 1 year ago i saw someone clean an o2 sensor with acetone. I tried it and i do not now if something was cleaned, but the sensor did not stop working or get damage. It was one 5 wire wideband o2 sensor.
The best way to clean a oxygen sensor is with a propane torch while measuring the voltage high and low voltages as wel as the transition time.
That is also my go-to method.
Is there video for it ?
Im trying to search to clean it
@@purplefurture6960 For old style Lambda sensors, there will sometimes be sensors that are a bit choked up with deposits and a good blast with a propane torch will help. To work correctly it should reach the full range of voltage (0.1 - 0.9V) and transition very very quickly as well as have continuity in the heater circuit (10 to 20 Ohm?). Not very expensive so if in doubt, chuck 'em out.
Explain what you did at the end, did you boil the water or use electricity since the event is what it sounds like according to the sound???
Ultrasound cleaning, like the optricion does with your glasses.
Or use the never seize
very sparingly and skip the first 1.5-2 threads near the sensor. But sensor safe would be better. Just never seen it advertised as such and haven’t read the entire permeated bottle back.
Oh wow I'll make sure to do this to my customers cars so they will come back a month later
loyal customers should have visited you weekly 😂😂😂
@@Techie1224 do you honestly think that as a customer, you would want to visit the shop once a week? Because guarantee after the second visit, they'll be going somewhere else
@incredulousd9408 That's why he said loyal customer 😂
@@incredulousd9408
Starting fluid and steel wool but the only thing that cleaning them will fix is if they are carbon up . And if that is the case your fuel mixture is to rich and needs fixed or someone has ran 2cycle premixed fuel in the vehicle and your catalytic converter is probably bad from the oil contamination
Fyi, you can use carb cleaner as alternative if you not have wd40
I wonder if it wasnt working prior to cleaning, and if it made any difference in voltages and fuel trim. I guess the video is only about cleaning the sensor i guess.
But was it malfunctioning and did this prevent purchasing a new one did it work ??? We’ll never know
Yeah clean them when their not to old or low quality Parts
But personally believe if u suspect that's its bad u should replace it be because if u don't It could cost u your catalytic converters very expensive and may have to be welded on
And could cause other major problems as well
Your cat won't suffer due to a bad O2 sensor.
I'm glad you cleaned your oxygen sensor so well. That left extra room for anti-seize inside the sensor! Anti-seize gets everywhere, you'd be better off with a light coat of grease on the threads.
A new O2 sensor is like $40. Stopping being cheap and trying fix broken parts 😂😂
I just bought one recently and it cost me $360 aud
Depends On The Vehicle Some Are $150/$144 And More Expensive Cars/Trucks Are Way More Expensive
Not for a genuine Toyota one it's not $40. Only genuine will do for any vehicle otherwise you're just going to be replacing them again.
40? I just paid 360 fr both lol I wish
@@jayliston2502 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 They Raised The Prices On Those 02 Sensors. I Just Replaced Some On An BMW X3 28i. 1 Ran For Like $140 Each. The Universal Ones Are Cheaper But More Mechanic Work.
There's a special made socket for removing/installing O2 sensors.
I never use it, i just use a 22 mm wrench.
@@RGV2300
I've had instances where an open end wrench slips and strips the hex nut on seized up sensors...finally gave in and bought the socket. It was only $8...👍
@@raybin6873 i've had instances when the socket doesn't even comfortably fit, so i ended up using the wrench.
@@raybin6873
It's 'special' only that they're helpful where access is tight. There's zero reason to use one if you can get a spanner on the sensor.
how to check a O2 sensor .... take it out , connect a needle type volt meter to it, use a propane plumbing torch and fan the flame on the tip , the voltage should immediately move with the flame, if it don't its bad
Forget cleaning it I want to know how it removed hat easy.
Kinda blogger's magic ✨.
Because he takes it out every other week to "clean it" when the code comes back, instead of just doing it the proper way and replacing it, getting rid of the code for good.
That's how....
Come to Chicago and let's see you get it out with it rust welded on. 🤣🤣🤣
Heat it with a torch,comes right out
Yeah let me just get my ultrasonic thing and I'll clean them.
they sell em on amazon
🍿 🍿 🍿 😉 😅
You make a good point about using anti seize
cleaning a O2 Senwor it's a 50/50 chance.
sometimes it might worth trying
Did this with my old 97 Nissan pulsar, had a faulty O2 sensor that was partially working, still ecu regarded as dead, doing this clean, well made it break completely and ecu actually threw CEL so knew needed replacing 😅
I want the name of the device you are using cleaning on. I want the name of the material that you put inside the device for cleaning
I had a code for my O2 sensor, I drove the car near empty on gas and filled it full with Shell V-Power Nitro+. After some miles of driving, it cleared the code. Did a 2nd fill up after also. If this didn't work, just replace the sensor.
That's not how any of that works. It cleared the code because your sensors ran all their tests again and found that the fault was no longer there. And your check engine light only comes on for emissions related things. The main causes for o2 sensor codes are exhaust leaks and then bad fuel trims.
Good tip to clean the O2 sensor the one before the catalyst converter is easy to do if you got the right tool but one after the catalyst converter is a different the Ball game .
This shop asked me they could weld my o2 sensors in and it took me a minute to process if I was actually talking to a human. Then I no joke responded: please don't. In a concerned voice lol
😂🤣😅
Excellent demonstration
Hello brother
I don't know whether I'll get reply or not
But i have one serious problem
In my corolla 2008 1zz-fe
I am from india
After cleaning my both o2 sensors my car is popping too much.
I think it's getting rich A/F mixture
How to solve this problem?
I have thinkdiag scanner in which there is one function called reset A/F should i do it or should i check my fuel average first?
My solution was to remove them completely as well as the smog pump, recirculation pipes, wiring loom, EGR, charcoal box and swap the valve covers for dual breathers.
I use Irish spring gives my exhaust a fresh clean smell
Don't use an ultrasonic cleaner with your part physically touching the bottom.
It causes cavitation which will microscopically damage the parts making them rougher.
This is especially important for things like bearings.
Cavitation is the way that Ultrasonic cleaners clean. Having it touching the bottom doesn’t actually have any affect on the cleaning aspect, but the micro vibrations hitting against the hard bottom may cause some unwanted wear. If that’s what you mean.
How is Carby cleaner ok but then use sensor safe anti sieze. Wouldn't the carby clean mess it up
If I get it out of the vehicle without cutting it out I call it a win and buy myself a new one
Heat it with a torch, come right out
Usually we have to heat the area where the O2 sensor is mounted with torch. This one is pretty new since it came out so easily.
Wrong. Just make sure the car is hot and they come out easy.
yeah the internals of the o2 sensor is what fails 99% of the time and spraying carb cleaner on a good o2 sensor will kill it EVERY TIME.
That won't fix it. I can assure you and if you get a low voltage code you can clean it as much as you like but the problem will still be there. As for the stuff that's being used a very small amount of anti seize will do and to add to this always make sure the car is warmed up before slackening the O2 sensor. It goes along way
People need to understand that O2 sensors are wear items. they WILL fail at some point regardless of how much you clean them. It's a fine wire that over time just wear out. cleaning it won't help. just replace. I get at least 3-4 yeras outta every O2 sensor and that's pretty normal on a car with 244K miles on it.
If your sensor is bad your sensor is bad replacement is a must.
Or just buy a new o2 sensor because you just spent the same amount on the wd-40 and carb spray and whatever that liquid is and the power for the thingy magiger
You DON'T "clean them", you REPLACE them... 🙄
If you think about it, given the cost of the labour and the cost of the sensor and the likelihood of it working for a significant length of time before you do have to buy a new one.. this is fun if you don’t count the cost of your own time, but does not make financial sense at all if you do.
O2 sensors aren’t much and are VERY important to you car (especially the upstream that monitors air fuel mixture) just replace them when they act up. Cleaning is going to damage the heating element anyways
Me rio de lo facil que hacen que se vea como se quita el sensor ! 😂😂 esos se pegan extremadamente fuerte y no se quita con la manita !!😂😂😂
There's a bit of ceramic in there that basically breaks every time you take it out. Just save time and BUY A NEW ONE. Literally like 25$ for the upstream and downstream
Replace, always replace. Both sensors and spark plugs. Cleaning doesn't work
В обще датчик лямбды он на всех машинах практически одинаковый, и принцип работы тоже, можно смело взять любой заменить на нем фишку и ездить.
02 sensors are not that expensive just buy new ones
Lmao 200 a 02 sensor is cheap? My bad baller
@@eviltwo7950 me personally yes I'll replace every time.
Yes, you have Dacia my bad, it's normal it's cheap.
@@eviltwo7950 Man $200? Always cost me around $30 a sensor on my vehicles. Depending on the brand I go with anywhere from $30-$45ish
@@ConnorDonahoe2712 idk what car u guys drive but i have a g37 which has 2 02 sensors that cost 200$ each with tax
Screw the O2 Sensor, I want to know where you got that wrench set and the EVA foam insert from!? What brand is that, it looks sick

Who cleans a o2 sensor / air fule ratio sensor
I know ed20 eninge Daihatsu move i used to just give it the burner flame till it burned of all the oil that was dumped on it cos we struggel to get parts in sa so overhaul eninge here us $10000 this is a 3 cylinder 1000 cc eninge parts here for this car mostly agents only 3 to six months waiting period after u paid only in south Africa In us new eninge cost about 1000 bucks but they dont export to sa
How can you tell if an Oxygen sensor is faulty?
You will get oxygen sensor error code
Bosch universal O2 sensors are $22. Why the heck would you go through all this?
Oxigen sensors are basically like batteries, ones they are worn out you need to replace it , can polish the part if you want, it will not work
Gas in an ultrasonic cleaner, sounds like a good way for someone thats not too bright to burn their house down, while attempting this in their garage. Just by a new one, if it fails usually thats a sign that something is not right with the combustion process in your engine, too much fuel and burning oil makes them black and leaves carbon deposits inside making it faulty and eventually frying the element inside, my Miata had the same original o2 sensors from the factory in 1992 and it still passed smog in California before I sold it a few months ago.
If you remove a o2 sensor it's best to replace it, the threads can rot out and reinstalling increases likelihood of cross threading it from previous tourqe specifications
What Type Of Ultrasonic Machine Is That?
Last time I did an o2 sensor it was $25 for a new one. Why clean something that cheap
Mine it's 60
Mine was 750 through Honda. Got it for 140 at O'Reilly.
I've never took out and clean a Af or 02 sensor if the sensor failed replace it I just want to know if anyone have ever done this I'm a Toyota technician it's usually the heating circuit that fails and this will not fix it
What kind of this u poul in ultrasound tank ?
how can i get that viberate machine type??
Might be just me but if a sensor is dirty I say just replace it after a while it’s going to be a problem anyway just put a new one in 🤷🏾♂️
Or… just buy a new one…
Also I want to know what god damn o2 sensor has that good access…
My first car had one that was right there on the manifold and one of the easiest O2 sensors I've ever pulled. It was a 1982 Toyota Corolla RWD 😆
Just about every fwd I've ever seen
Pretty sure O2 sensors don't ever need cleaning. The operating temperature they run at prevents carbon build up on the working element.
So if my thermostat is out of my vehicle and my vehicle calls for 195 temp and it's only running say 110 most of the time. That could cause my 02's to carbon up?
@@jason6325 no that's your coolant temp. The exhaust gas temps are completely different then coolant . Exhaust gas is extremely hot
@@SerpentDrago i know that but with my couldn't temp low it's causing my computer to read wrong and maybe that's why it's messing up my air fuel?? Idk?? I think i just got junk 02's
Are U sure buddy?
I'm confulse, who's got the real answer to solve the problem?
I read the carb cleaner as car horn cleaner the first time it popped up
Это видео о том, что не надо делать с датчиком!
Please dont use gasoline as a cleaning agent, but if you REALLY have to, do it in an extreemely well ventilated area, like outside
Great video on how to clean it, but it is never gonna come out of a car over 10 yrs old that easy, thanks for the video though.
How do you know if the anti-seize is sensor safe?
Lo hacem ver tan facil como en las peliculas.y si esta en una posicion incomoda? O esta pegado el sensor de oxigeno.que haces?ya en la realidad es otra cosa
I thought WD-40 is a silicone based cleaner. Spraying silicone on an oxygen sensor is a sure fire was to destroy the O2 sensor.
WD-40 is petroleum based.
WD40 isn't silicone based and contains none.
Why do clowns on TH-cam make stuff up and post it as fact?
В ультразвуке керамический нагревательный элемент повреждается так же как и mpi форсунки с керамикой
Actually high temperature (copper) anti-seize should ONLY be put on the threads.
No way he took that sensor off with that wrench 😂😂😂😅
Thank u. Bro
Welcome
Great video. I did it to my car on both sensors. Engine light has been out for 1 month
O2 sensor is cheaper than an ultrasonic cleaner
Oowh. Thanks bro, i'll do it iny matic bike.
Greetings from indonesia
Glad it was helpful
Oxygen sensors no need cleaning. You just cleaned the metal cage for beauty purposes that protects the ceramic element that creates the milivolts when reacting chemically with exhaust gases
Нехера не изменилось) почистил чистый датчик.
I only buy new O2 when they ground out. Other then that, remove it, use a torch and burn off all the carbon. Reinstall and on the road again 😁
I don’t clean a paper cup. I replace it with a new one. Same here!
So we all have ultra sonic cleaners sitting around lol 😆 also the cost of all of that equals that of a o2 sensor and replace with brand new call it a day go through all that only to still have a code afterwards 😅🤣😂
You can also clean injectors and jewelry
Yes because we all have an ultrasonic sitting around
I like uncensored anti-sieze, especially when it's winter in Australia?
Cheaper to buy a new sensor. Oh and your lucky getting it out so easily
They're like $120 on my car. Not that you should clean them, but I definitely used PB blaster on it.
My car has the same engine but doesn't have this O2 sensor and no EGR
"Дохлому припарки"... Only new sensor!
WD-40 is not good as a penetrating oil, wd40 is good in Rust proofing things. There are loads of better penetrating oil. Like PB Blaster.
WD = water displacement
Then you realize the part is worth a little more than the carb cleaner that does nothing to help it in the first place
How to open the O2 sensor in Accord
WD40 is not a release agent.
These sensors are often welded in over time. Best off buying a new sensor.
Nice. Use an ultrasonic cleaner to vaporize gasoline 👍.
Why is the arrow pointing at cavitation bubbles?
Just reading comments and having a laugh as the sound effects enhance the comments...
If only it were really this easy to take an o2 sensor off in real life😂
I have an AEM wideband, and the sensor isn't that expensive. Lol with these gas prices u prolly spent more cleaning it than getting a new one
Never cleaned mine, work perfeclty 27 years old Ford.
Best asmr i ever saw
PB Blaster gets the O2 sensor out easier. Do not use GASOLINE in an ultrasound cleaner. NEVER use gasoline as a solvent!
If youre having issues you need to replace
The cleaning machine cost more than a new sensor.😂
