I'm trying to locate the #1 cylinder for the 2008 Ford Escape V6, I scan the vehicle and I got a code p2270 bank 1 sensor 2 on the fire wall side I replace the downstream sensor after the catalytic converter and it still gives me the same code. please let me know what I did wrong.
The P2270 is a fairly straight forward code pointing to a fault in the downstream heated oxygen sensor (B1S2). Basically, it's not switching in the alotted time that on-board computer needs to see. Carefully inspect the wire harness and electrical connector for any loose, broken, pinched or rubbed through wires. Make sure there are no current exhaust leaks in the system. If the visual inspection checks ok, replacing the sensor should solve the problem.Bank 1 is on the passenger side and sensor 2 is by the cataytic convertor.
Hi Paul, Have you had a fault code relating to the knock sensor? That sensor controls ignition timing which can have a relationship to the fault codes you report? Regards John
Is this the only code that is coming up? If so, replacing the Bank 1 Sensor 2 Oxygen sensor should fix it. If there are any other engine/drivetrain/emissions related codes, I would recommend ignoring this code for now and fix the other things first, then retest the vehicle to see if this code comes back.

these engines did have some exh valve issues, service bulletin 05-26-3. one other thing to verify is that the cam synronizer (CMP) is correctly installed. if its not right on, its way off.
