Where is the upstream O2?

Where is the upstream O2?

The upstream oxygen sensor is situated before the catalytic converter whereas the downstream oxygen sensor is located after the catalytic converter. The upstream sensor monitors the level of pollutants in the engine’s exhaust and sends this information to the ECU that continuously adjusts the air-fuel ratio.

Where is the O2 Bank 2?

Bank 2 Sensor 2 = This O2 sensor is located right after the catalytic converter, on the side with the Cylinder #2 that is Bank 2.

How do you replace the oxygen sensor on a Sport Trac?

What causes an oxygen sensor to trip the Check Engine light?

When one of the multiple oxygen sensors detect a lean mix of burned fuel to oxygen ratio or a bad circuit relay in your Ford Explorer Sport Trac, it will trip the “check engine” light. Finding the faulty sensor will require having the computer of the Explorer scanned.

How do you remove an oxygen sensor from a bike?

Use the ratchet and socket to remove the sensor. Place the sensor wire into the slot on the side of the socket. Screw in the new oxygen sensor and tighten. Be careful not to over-tighten or you could damage the threads to the new sensor. Plug the oxygen sensor wire into the wire harness and fasten it back to the frame if you removed it.

How to reset check engine light on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

Gather the tools and creeper and crawl out from under the Sport Trac. Remove the wheel chock and back the Sport Trac off of the ramps. It will take some normal driving conditions to reset the “check engine” light in the Explorer Sport Trac or you could have the parts store reset the computer again.

Plug the oxygen sensor wire into the wire harness and fasten it back to the frame if you removed it. Gather the tools and creeper and crawl out from under the Sport Trac. Remove the wheel chock and back the Sport Trac off of the ramps.

How do you attach an oxygen sensor to a transmission?

Position the new oxygen sensor and tighten it in place using the oxygen sensor socket and wrench and reattach the wiring connectors for the oxygen sensor. Slide the transmission tube into the transmission and attach the tube to the engine block, securing the bolt with a socket wrench.
