Part Details
TRQ oxygen sensors are manufactured to precise specifications using premium raw materials to optimize your vehicle’s emission system. Each sensor is isostatically-pressed for improved strength and durability, and plasma-sprayed to improve sensitivity and prolong the service life of the sensors. Oxygen sensors wear out over time and should be replaced every 60,000 miles to prevent poor engine performance. TRQ recommends replacing the oxygen sensors in sets to optimize fuel economy and reduce overall emissions. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.

Determining whether or not your vehicle is a California emissions or a federal emissions vehicle is pretty straightforward. To do this, you'll want to locate your catalyst sticker under the hood of your vehicle. It'll either be actually on the bottom side of the hood, most GM vehicles have it on the air box, and other vehicles may have it along your radiator support at the front of the engine bay.
All you need to do is see, "This vehicle conforms to California regulations." That means that this vehicle is a California emissions car. Just because you're not in California or are in California doesn't necessarily mean your vehicle will be one way or the other.
Now, our F150 has it down here on the radiator's support, right at the front of the engine bay and you can see here, "This vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations." This means that this vehicle is a federal emissions.
Now, here we have two things that are a little different. Our catalyst is located on the vehicle's air box and this vehicle conforms to US EPA regulations and California regulations. If it conforms to both federal and California emissions, it's considered a California emissions vehicle.

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.

In this video I have a couple of oxygen sensors with me. While there are some aesthetic differences here, the wire lengths are a little different, the actual body and tip of the sensor are a little different, the threads and gasket are the same, and on the other end the connections are actually the same. I can plug these into either position on our vehicle. But if I had to ask you which one's upstream and which one's downstream, you probably can't tell just from looking at them. That's true of most oxygen sensors. The way you determine whether or not an O2 sensor is upstream or downstream is all done visually.
Your oxygen sensor position can be determined relative to your catalytic convertor. As the name suggests, upstream sensors will be located upstream or ahead of, in front of, above, closer to the engine than your catalytic convertors. This means that they see the exhaust gasses first. They then go through the catalytic convertor and to the downstream oxygen sensor, which will either be located in the catalytic convertor like our vehicle here, or after the catalytic convertor to monitor the gasses coming out of the cat and make sure that it's being efficient relative to the readings of the upstream O2 sensor.
The other determination you need to make is bank one versus bank two. Determining which bank is which can be done by looking at a picture of your vehicle's firing order. Whichever bank contains cylinder one is going to be bank one, and the other one, regardless of whether or not cylinder two is in it, is going to be bank two by default. These banks are true of V engines like V8s, V6s, and flat engines like Porsches and Subarus that have individual banks.
On inline four-cylinder engines, as long as they have one exhaust manifold like a Jeep four-liter or a four-cylinder Honda engine, you'll only have one bank with an upstream and downstream O2 sensor. There will be no bank two on the engine.
On our vehicle here, this is the passenger side, which we've already determined from the firing order is bank one. We have our upstream sensor here closest to the engine ahead of the cat. Then we have our downstream or sensor two here inside of the catalytic convertor. This could also be located somewhere after the cat. Here I have my two sensors for the vehicle. While they are aesthetically different, we can now tell this is my upstream sensor because it looks just like the upstream sensor I have up there. This is my downstream sensor. Now that we know which one's which, we can order the right part, correct the problem, and fix you up right.

In this video, we're going to replace the upstream oxygen sensor which is the oxygen sensor that's in front of the catalytic converter. This is a '97 Buick LeSabre. It has the 3.8-liter or a 3800 engine. Engine used in many, many, many GM vehicles. The most important tool you'll need is a 7/8 O2 sensor socket which you'll see in the video. Then you'll need a couple of extensions and probably a breaker bar and maybe a piece of pipe for some extra leverage to get it out.
Here's your harness for your upstream O2 sensor. Pull out the clip and lift this up over. Move the harness and then remove the clip from the bracket. You see the oxygen sensor down here. I'm just going to sneak this harness out of the way. This is a piece of socket wrench. Use a special O2 sensor, 7/8 inch socket, that's got to cut out for the harness. Slide that over. Use the pipe for extra leverage.
Once it's loosened up, it comes out about on a quarter and a half a turn, so spray it down with some penetrating oil. Screw it back in, then do it back and forth a couple of times to loosen it up as much as we can. Spray it with some more penetrating oil. Screw it down back in and loosen it up. After about two or three iterations of that, it finally comes out.
The old part, the new part from 1AAuto. As you can see, the connectors are the same.
You can start this by hand before I put the socket on. Now we're using the socket it to tighten it back up.
