Review on Enhance Engine Performance with πŸš€ the Denso 234-9042 Air Fuel Ratio Sensor by Chase Arellano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I saved a few hundred dollars by replacing this sensor myself.

Bought this Denso air ratio sensor for my 2002 3.0 liter Camry V6 which had the check engine light on. A local auto parts store did a free scan and found a code P1155, indicating a problem with the air/fuel sensor bank 2 sensor 1. It is located on the intake side of the manifold (front right) just below the air intake. I also ordered an O2 socket. After spraying the old sensor with penetrating lube, I removed the sensor quickly and easily. It took me a little longer to unplug the wiring harness. I applied copper anti-seize paste to a new Denso sensor (234-9042) and cleared the code following the instructions below. I saved at least $200 by replacing this sensor myself. I forgot to mention that I tested the two black heating wires on the old sensor before ordering a new one. Set the ohmmeter to 200 and any reading other than 2.5 means the sensor is bad. As other reviewers point out, don't make the mistake of buying a Bosch sensor or a cheaper non-Denso sensor or the problem will persist. To remove the check engine light: Turn the key to the on position. is displayed. .Turn the ignition key off again.Press and hold the odometer reset button. While continuing to press the reset button, turn the key back to the "on" position, but not far enough to "start" the engine.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
