OP GR8SVT_dup1 Hard-core CEG'er G Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,110 I'm a 'MASS'hole	Driving in to work today - I got a CEL. Went to Autozone at lunch today and it read a P0153 - O2 sensor circuit low (Bank2 Sensor1)....or at least that was the description. Can someone just confirm that for me? Also - I have those Check Engine Light Eliminators as one of my cats was starting to head south (and I didn't want to replace it) - these were put on two o2's....not sure which ones its been so long. Anyway - does this sound like a regular symptom of an O2 sensor going bad? He cleared the code so I will see how long it takes to come back. I'll be looking in the Haynes manual tonight. Any tips on what I should do? Car has 154,000+ mi. on it.... Thanks. Hugo ------ 98 SVT - 53k mi - SOLD 04 Mazda3 S 5-Dr

According to what I have heard, this is the hardest one to replace (since it is against the firewall). The sensor itself runs about $55-65.

I believe bank 1 is closest to the firewall. Bank 2 is close to the radiator. My copy of the haynes manual only covers 95 type emmision CEL codes and such and does not describe the 96+ cars with the OBD-II computer and extra sensors. Not saying there isn't a newer revision, but just something to be aware of. Scott 95 SE-2.5L ATX (Sold, but not forgotten...)
