Lambda oxygen sensor

tommyspiggy

Anyone know how many oxygen sensors on a ( 2000 Toyota Corolla compact e11 1.4. ) how hard are they to replace? I know a special socket is needed. Any brands/shops that you would recommend to buy them? Thanks in advance:)

Usually two. One near the exhaust manifold and a second under the car after the cat. Do you know which one is gone?

Unfortunately not. I Just no one is gone. Prob will have to get code read Tommorw. Do u know which one most commonly fails? Thanks

toyota have the odd thing saying front lambda gone when its the back one at fault,diagnotics done and i would consult main dealer as you dont want to buy twice.

Not necessary to consult a main dealer. Any garage with a power probe or even a multimeter should be able to tell you which one is gone.

never used either on a lambda probe.

nd

as for the tool to take it off.

I bought this a while ago and it works great.

I did need to buy a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter locally as I only have a 1/2 rachet.

If you haven't got access to live data from diagnostics a power probe is a good way to see if the sensor is switching.

How do you know that either of them is faulty?

Got codes checked , mechanic never told me which one was faulty . I never realized there was 2 so never asked him
