eds92sc Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was just wondering how many o2 (oxygen sensors) are on the sc400? What are the locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaDawg Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I was just wondering how many o2 (oxygen sensors) are on the sc400? What are the locations? I believe there are 4...2 aft of the forward cats and (this is the part I'm not 100% sure of) 2 on the engine. As I understand it, the ECU collects data from the O2 sensor(s?) on the engine and the 2 aft of the cats to determine how the engine's running and adjusts accordingly. I would assume the primary O2(s?) are near the ECU or can be traced via connections. I hope this helps, probably not. :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68pishta Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 On a 92 SC400 (1UZFE in general) there are 4: 2 upstream and 2 downstream. the Downstream has a very long lead while the upstream has a short one. The downstream (or whatever is on the exhaust pipes, easily seen from bottom) takes an open end 7/8 wrench and a good kick with your foot on the wrench to loosen, an 02 socket WILL NOT WORK on these. The harness goes up under the carpet via a rubber grommet and into the cabin. pull carpet back and unplug. When you reconnect the harness, plug in and give the new O2 3.5 turns CCW before you start threading it in CW so the harness will unwind while you are tightening it, smart eh? (From service manual...) or just install the O2 first and then pull harness into cab and plug in. The other one is located on the exhaust manifold above the catalytic convertor and is barely accessible from under the car, ideally youll need a 7/8 crows foot and a breaker bar with a 12" extension but whatever it takes will work. use penetrating oil first and remember to break these so you wont run your hand into anything once it lets loose, good general practice! I got all 4 for <$90 on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt123 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 so if i wanted to straight pipe my 1996 lexussc400 i would be safe taking the two cats off closest to the rear and wont give codes or check engine lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
