oxygen sensor

Kennyray · 04-19-2009, 06:20 AM

My wife has a 99 pathfinder 2wd. CEL is coming on, when I pull the codes it is telling me it is # 2 bank # 2 sensor heating circuit. My question is which side is # 2 bank so I know where to start looking.

that's going to be your pre-cat sensor assuming there is only one cat on the vehicle.

there are 2 cats on the truck and 4 sensors, from what I understand sensor 2 is post cat

ok, then it would be on the same side of the engine as cylinders 2, 4 and 6 and post cat. Why would a nissan have 2 cats? the dang things have an exhaust pipe the size of a straw and they have two cats!?

Its a V-6 with 2 pipes into the muffler. The cats are about 4 inches from the manifolds. real easy truck to put on true duals.

I priced them out on a 1998 and it was like 1400 just for the cats themselves. just thought i would let ya know. I just cleared the code and it never poped back on.

rock auto has the cats for 187.00 each. but thats not the problem. mud, can you tell me the testing procedure for the heated oxygen sensors, I don't want to throw parts at it and hope its fixed, thanks

i just did this on my truck. for mine i connected a test lamp to pin D of the harness side and a good ground, it should light up with the ignition on. next i connected the test light at pins C and D, if there is power there, then you have a wireing problem, otherwise, replace the sensor.

might want to have autozone print out something so you know what pins are what for your truck

Thanks, Ill let ya know how it goes

Replaced the Oxygen sensor yesterday and so far so good, put some miles on the thing and the code has not come back.
