I would say Bank 2 is the downstream sensor, the one that's after the catalyst. That's if you are driving a 4 banger. Not sure about the Duratecs though.

dkawa,

On a Duratec, Bank 2 is the side closest to the radiator. Sensor 2 is the one downstream of the precat.

Don't say that anymore, becauze on a 4cyl you only have two O2 sensors, the upstream and the downstream. You can't speak about bank on a 4cyl.

BANK BANK BANK BANK BANK BANK BANK BANK


The codes are for bank one or bank two. The Zetec has bank one.
