Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / July 2005Any easy way to figure out which Oxy Sensor is bad ?
I've got a '96 Pathfinder, and getting a trouble code that one of the Oxygen Sensors to the rear of the Catalytic Converters is bad. Does anyone know any easy way to tell which one is bad ? Its cheaper to buy both of them, than to have the dealership figure it out (getting quoted around $200 to diagnose which one it is - crazy when 1 cost $75 and the other costs $85). id replace em both at the same time > I've got a '96 Pathfinder, and getting a trouble code that one of the Oxygen > Sensors to the rear of the Catalytic Converters is bad.

Yea, that's what it looks like I'll be doing On 6/21/05 6:55 PM, in article TV0ue.90563$xm3.90009@attbi_s21, "Sly" <askme@myserver.com> wrote: > id replace em both at the same time > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> than to have the dealership figure it out (getting quoted around $200 to >> diagnose which one it is - crazy when 1 cost $75 and the other costs $85). The code number will tell you it will either be a bank 1 sensor 2 code, or a bank 2 sensor 2 code. Each sensor is assigned it's own failure code. Instead of guessing and spending more money than you need to , why not take it to someone that knows what they are doing and get it diagnosed correctly. > I've got a '96 Pathfinder, and getting a trouble code that one of the Oxygen > Sensors to the rear of the Catalytic Converters is bad.

Well, already paid $95 to get told that its just one of the sensors - nothing in the readout about any bank - just that it was behind a cat converter. Being told that anything in more detail requires them to remove and test each sensor out of the vehicle.

No, This was at the dealership !

Go to your local autozone (assuming that the CEL is still lit) and have them pull the codes for you (they do it for free around here). The code they pull should help you exactly identify which O2 sensor has failed. In the case of multiple codes being pulled - you may have more than one failed sensor/part. Cheers, Nirav 96 Max GLE, 118k ok dude , here is the bottom line. It's obvious the dealership wants more money from you than the problem requires. I suggest you take your truck somewhere else. > No, > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > >>>> diagnose which one it is - crazy when 1 cost $75 and the other costs > > $85). Alternately, disconnect one and see if you get another trouble code. Then disconnect the other. > I've got a '96 Pathfinder, and getting a trouble code that one of the > Oxygen > Sensors to the rear of the Catalytic Converters is bad.
