Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a downstream O2 sensor on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. We show you on the passenger's side, but the driver's side has a similar procedure. You'll need a new downstream O2 sensor from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, a 7/8"� wrench, and some wire cutters.

To start off, we're going to show you where your O2 sensors are. On this side, on the driver's side, it's the Bank 1, Sensor 1. This is Bank 1, Sensor 2. This is on the passenger side: Bank 2, Sensor 1 and Bank 2, Sensor 2. Both Sensor 1s are your upstream, and both Sensor 2s are your downstream. We're going to do Bank 2, Sensor 2, which is the passenger side downstream O2 sensor.

You just want to pry out this clip, pull the harness down, pull out that pin, then pry up the tab, and disconnect the harness. Use your wire cutters to cut off the harness connector at the bottom of your O2 sensor. We do this so we can get the closed end of the wrench onto the O2 sensor. Now slide your 7/8-inch wrench into place and using another wrench for leverage you want to pry it and break it free, and then twist it out the rest of the way. We'll fast-forward as Don does this.

Obviously, we have the vehicle up on a lift, but, actually, there's enough clearance on these vehicles that you don't even need to jack them up to do this. On the left is the old downstream O2 sensor; on the right is the new one from 1AAuto. You can see they're going to fit exactly the same.

Take your new downstream O2 sensor, feed it into place, and just twist it in. I'll fast-forward as Don does this and then tightens it up with the wrench. Now just reconnect your harness and then push that pin back into place. Then re-clip the harness to the vehicle. You're all set.
