Palyndromic Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi- I've followed some of the other topics regarding oxygen sensors and I have a couple of questions in clarification. I recently replaced my 1996 ES300's 2 front/engine Fuel/air sensors (commonly referred to as oxygen sensors) with Bosch OE style sensors (Toyota tipped). I am going to replace the rear sensor with a Denso. (that is delayed due to the rear O2 sensor not wanting to come out) I have read that using universal or non OE Denso oxygen sensors can cause trouble in the computer. I am not against using a higher priced sensor, but I put the Bosch in prior to becoming better educated RE sensor maker Toyota's high maintenance electronic needs. I don't know if its worth it to return the Bosch or sell via ebay. My 2 questions are- "Will mixing Bosch and Denso sensors create problems in the computer?" "What trouble (if any) can I expect from having Bosch sensors? " Any thoughts? Thank you for your time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky13 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not causing problems no. But as a blanket statement Bosch can tend to be not very Lexus-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finally able to move on from these oxygen sensors. I had to torch the pipe to get the rear oxygen sensor to turn. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
