o2 sensor

Hello,

Here is a guide to help walk you through the steps to change the sensors out and the location of the sensors in the diagrams below. There are 4 sensors.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens. Cheers

OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S) - PCM INPUT
The Oxygen Sensors (O2S) are attached to, and protrude into the vehicle exhaust system. Depending on the emission package, the vehicle may use a total of either 2 or 4 sensors.

Non-California Engines
On certain non-California (Federal) emissions packages, 2 sensors are used: upstream (referred to as 1/1) and downstream (referred to as 1/2). With this emission package, the upstream sensor (1/1) is located just before the main catalytic convertor. The downstream sensor (1/2) is located just after the main catalytic convertor.

California Engines
On certain California emissions packages, 4 sensors are used: 2 upstream (referred to as 1/1 and 2/1) and 2 downstream (referred to as 1/2 and 2/2). With this emission package, the right upstream sensor (2/1) is located in the right exhaust downpipe just before the mini-catalytic convertor. The left upstream sensor (1/1) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just before the mini-catalytic convertor. The right downstream sensor (2/2) is located in the right exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor. The left downstream sensor (1/2) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.

can a bad o2 sensor affect how the trans shifts

Normally, no. However, I have seen situations where a plugged catalytic converter caused shifting problems.

What is happening?
