You just have to start at the O2 Sensor and follow the wires up to where the plug is located. It will be within 18 to 24 inches from the O2 Sensor.

Your oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust pipe after the exhaust manifolds. A wire will plug directly into the sensor and the other end is in the wiring harness that plugs into the computer.

Where is the o2 sensor on 2005 ford freestar 3.9

o2sensors are located in the exhaust system.you have 4 o2sensors on your car.so you need to know which sensor your looking for.bank 1 sensor 1 is the first sensor in the exhaust pipe on the side cylinder 1 is on.bank 2 is on the side cylinder 2 is on.then you have a sensor before the catalytic convertor and one after the convertor.

O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 replacement instructions 2004 toyota tacoma v6

LOCATIONS There are different locations in the exhaust system where O2sensors are positioned. The locations have been given numbers and will be used in the accompanying charts to identify the positions of O2sensors in most vehicles. Due to mid-year production changes or factory inconsistencies, all models may not be covered. If a vehicle being serviced is not covered in the charts, inspect the exhaust system (while cold!) in the general locations to find the applicable O2sensors. NOTE: If equipped with dual exhaust systems, there may be up to 4 or 5 O2sensors in the exhaust system. Be sure to locate all of them before commencing with any testing or service. Fig. 1: Location No. 1 - down pipe 79248g01.gif
Fig. 2: Location No. 1 - typical O2sensor located in the exhaust manifold 79248g04.gif

I have a 1998 isuzu Amigo 2.2L 4 cylinder. I get 2 codes that stay on all the time and I can't figure out the problem: PO300 and PO141(pending). I have trouble starting it, exhaust smells bad at times,...

P0141 O2Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank #1 Sensor #2)
P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

The random multiple cylinder misfire can be caused by a bad O2 Sensor.

Try to change the O2 Sensor out, they can be tricky though, with the threads sometimes becoming gauled if removed when cold.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature, then turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Open the hood and locate the O2sensor connector. It may be necessary to raise and safely support the vehicle for access to the sensor and its connector. NOTE: On a few models, it may be necessary to remove the passenger seat and lift the carpeting in order to access the connector for a downstream O2sensor. Fig. 1: Since sensor locations vary between vehicles, the first step in removal is to locate the O2sensors (arrows) . . . 90914p02.jpg
    Fig. 2: . . . and the sensor connector (2), which is usually near the O2sensor (1), but removed enough from the heat of the exhaust system 89714p26.jpg
    Fig. 3: Disengage the sensor pigtail connector half from the vehicle harness connector half 90914p03.jpg
    Fig. 4: For flange type sensors, loosen the hold-down fasteners . . . 90914p04.jpg
    Fig. 5: . . . which happen to be nuts in this particular case - some models may use bolts rather than nuts 90914p05.jpg
    Fig. 6: Then, pull the sensor out of the exhaust component 90914p06.jpg
    Fig. 7: For screw-in type sensors (arrow) . . . 89714p22.jpg
    Fig. 8: . . . either use a box end wrench to loosen the sensor or a socket designed expressly for this purpose . . . 89714p23.jpg
    Fig. 9: . . . then remove the sensor from the exhaust component 89714p24.jpg

  4. Disengage the O2sensor pigtail connector from the vehicle harness connector. NOTE: There are generally 2 methods used to mount an O2sensor in the exhaust system. Either the O2sensor is threaded directly into the exhaust component (screw-in type) or the O2sensor is retained by a flange and 2 nuts or bolts (flange type). WARNING
    To prevent damaging a screw-in type O2sensor, if excessive force is needed to remove the sensor lubricate it with penetrating oil prior to removal. Also, be sure to protect the tip of the sensor; O2sensor tips are very sensitive and may be easily damaged if allowed to strike or come in contact with other objects.
  5. Remove the sensor, as follows:
    • Screw-in type sensors: Since O2sensors are usually designed with a permanently-attached wiring pigtail, it may be necessary to use a socket or wrench that is designed specifically for this purpose. Before purchasing such a socket, be sure that you can't save some money by using a box end wrench for sensor removal.
    • Flange type sensors: Loosen the hold-down nuts or bolts and pull the sensor out of the exhaust component. Be sure to remove and discard the old sensor gasket, if equipped. You will need a new gasket for installation.
  6. Perform a visual inspection of the sensor. Black sooty deposits may indicate a rich air/fuel mixture, brown deposits may indicate an oil consumption problem, and white gritty deposits may indicate an internal coolant leak. All of these conditions can destroy a new sensor if not corrected before installation. To install:
  7. Install the sensor, as follows: NOTE: A special anti-seize compound is used on most screw-in type O2sensor threads, and is designed to ease O2sensor removal. New sensors usually have the compound already applied to the threads. However, if installing the old O2sensor or the new sensor did not come with compound, apply a thin coating of electrically conductive anti-seize compound to the sensor threads. WARNING
    Be sure to prevent any of the anti-seize compound from coming in contact with the O2sensor tip. Also, take precautions to protect the sensor tip from physical damage during installation.
    • Screw-in type sensors: Install the sensor in the mounting boss, then tighten it securely.
    • Flange type sensors: Position a new sensor gasket on the exhaust component and insert the sensor. Tighten the hold-down fasteners securely and evenly.
  8. Reattach the sensor pigtail connector to the vehicle harness connector.
  9. Lower the vehicle.
  10. Connect the negative battery cable.
  11. Start the engine and ensure no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) are set.
