Subject: O2 Sensor - Which one is which?
IP: Logged

Message:
My father has a Dakota truck with the "big" engine, or its at least big compared to my 2.5 4 banger ;) I don't know much about it. He's at work and the truck is locked so I can't pop the hood to get a look at it. However, the side of the truck does have an SLT badge.

Here's the problem, he's got a bad o2 sensor according to the thrown code, but he's not sure which one. The code (don't know the specific number as he didn't tell me) refers to the number 2 sensor but the sensors are marked front left, rear left, etc. He then later said the code said second bank number two.

So... can anyone lend a hand? I suppose the worst that he'd have to do is buy a sensor and keep swapping it around until he fixes the problem. But that seems a bit annoying.

The second bank is the right side (when sitting in vehicle) bank of cylinders. It is the sensor that is in that sides pipe. Hope that helps.

Need to know year of truck and motor size to be sure but if it's a two O2 sensor system then sensor 2 refers to the sensor after the cat. If it's tossing a MIL then it's quite possible that the sensor is okay and the cat is plugged. That's about all that rear O2 sensor does (monitors the cat's condition).
