medium
Common Issue
Yes

Possible Causes

Faulty sensor, intake leak, clogged fuel filter, weak fuel pump, damaged wiring

Solution

Check for intake leaks, inspect and clean the sensor, measure fuel pressure, compare live data against the expected range

Symptoms

  • Check engine light illuminated
  • Rough idle or hesitation
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Engine running rich or lean intermittently on bank 2
  • Failed emissions test

Diagnostic Recommendations

  1. Inspect O2 sensor wiring and connector for bank 2 sensor 1
  2. Test O2 sensor signal voltage with a scan tool
  3. Check for exhaust leaks upstream of the sensor on bank 2
  4. Verify sensor heater circuit resistance
  5. Replace O2 sensor if readings are out of range

Repair Cost Estimate

  • O2 sensor replacement (upstream, bank 2): $150-400
  • Wiring/connector repair: $80-200
  • Exhaust leak repair: $100-300
  • Diagnostic scan: $80-150
  • Total diagnostic and repair: $150-700
