I have been having some issues with my computer. I posted a bit ago about my p1000 issue. It has 2 checks that have not cleared with regards to that.


Self test failed or not complete on the Evaporative system and the component monitoring. This is getting to be annoying as I take the car thru NJ emissions and they can't test it because of the p1000 failure.


Just noted today, engine light on with P0133 and P0153 codes both dealing with O2 sensors. One on Bank 1 and the other on Bank 2. Now where is Bank 1 and Bank 2 and what do these buggers look like? Is it an easy fix from a home mechanic to do to replace the sensors?

 

Bank 1 RH Engine cylinder bank (cylinders 1, 3, 5, 7) (A Bank)
Bank 2 LH Engine cylinder bank (cylinders 2, 4, 6, 8) (B Bank)

Right and Left are as from standing at the rear of the vehicle looking forwards.

Cylinder numbering has changed over the years! This is the summary:

This is the extract from the Jaguar DTC listing for P0133 and P0153 showing possible causes:

The Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) are in the top of the Cats:

If you can change a Spark Plug, you can change an HO2S. However, they can be very tight and I've had to drop Cats before to be able to undo them.

Do NOT mix up the wiring! It will take a visit to the Dealer or an Indy with equivalent diagnostics if you get the connections crossed.

OBD codes commonly prevent monitors setting. Fix the codes and you've a hope.

It's not the P1000 that's the problem - they won't even see it. It's what it implies - unset monitor(s) - and of course any codes that are the problems.

 

Thank you.


Now for another question; Is there a ford equivalent part number for these 2 oxygen sensors?
