vissine Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hello friends, I am thinking to replace Sensor 2 Bank 2 (downstream) as the voltage always stays at .1 Voltage. I saw the thread to cut and solder the wires but wonder if anyone has tried to remove the passenger seat to replace the whole cable? Is it easy? Thanks!

sha4000 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This job is not difficult theres 4 bolts to remove the seat just be careful with the connectors underneath especially if there is an airbag. Pull the carpet back to gain access to the connector. The most difficult part is getting enough leverage underneath the car to break the sensor loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like that's on my next thing-to-do list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vissine Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I've found the O2 wires were shorted. After separate them and cover with electrical tape, it's working like normal so I am not going to replace the sensor at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 How did the wires get shorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vissine Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 It was human error. I cut off old oxygen sensor and replaced with a new one a few years ago. Because the replacement cable was a little longer than it should, I had to use zip tie to keep it out of the way. Recently, when I got it on a lift, the cable got crushed causing shorted.Visual check solves the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I fixed mine years ago the same way and wrapped it with electrical tape which lasted a couple of years before I had to redo the connections. Finally i just bought a new plug and play sensors in 2018 since the prices had dropped significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbryan030 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I replaced the sensor twice with a new one and one from the junk yard yet. They both don't want to read i don't know what else to do. I do have atfer Market intake i don't think is has anything to do with it. I got a gs400 1998 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
