Where is sensor 2 bank 1 located?

Good morning,

I attached a picture with the location of the sensor for you.

Do you have a code set for this? If you do, can you please post it so I can help narrow the area of failure for you?

Most of the time, it is not the sensor at all. It is something else causing the sensor to read incorrectly.

I would check the fuel pressure as low fuel pressure will cause lean running conditions. Very common issue.

Now I did see black soot coming from a flange that comes from the intake. And also noticed that something was hit and knocked the whole exhaust system back a little. Just enough to maybe break that seal?

Thank you. If you have an exhaust leak, and it looks like you do, then it would explain the O2 sensor code. Not only is it leaking exhaust, but it is also pulling in the air into the system.

You need to repair the leak. Once it is repaired, clear the code and see if it returns. Watch the voltage changes when it is running.

Thanks a lot. I'll definitely try to fix the leak, instead of changing the sensor first, and hopefully that's it. I didn't know what sensor was 1 or 2, actually my first ever O2 sensor run in.

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.

Keep us updated.

Fixed the exhaust leak, cleared the code, and it's running better. Now I tried tightening the flange but it's not sealing completely. I used a flange sealant from work that we use on somewhat high pressure flanges/high temperature applications and it seems to be holding so far. But if the code comes back I know it would be or where it would be.

Correct.

Good job.
