 Engine Bank Identification An ODB will usually identify Oxygen (O2) Sensors by the Bank Number (B1 = Bank 1; B2 = Bank 2) and Sensor Number (S1 = Sensor 1; S2 = Sensor 2, etc.). Bank 1 is not on the same side of the engine for every vehicle. - Bank 1 will always contain Cylinder 1. To locate Cylinder 1,
- Check for cylinder labels on spark plug wires
- Look for the cylinder that is closest to the front of the engine
- Refer to your Repair Manual (Found under 'Literature')
- Bank 2 refers to the bank opposite Bank 1
- Sensor 1 refers to the sensor before the catalytic converter
- Other Common Terms: Upstream Sensor, Pre-Cat Sensor
- Sensor 2+ typically refers to the sensor(s) after the catalytic converter
- Other Common Terms: Downstream Sensor, Post-Cat Sensor

Common O2 Sensor Locations Vehicle and part manufacturers sometimes use different terminology than diagnostic tools to identify sensor positions. Regardless of the vehicle's engine orientation, the right or left bank is determined by viewing the engine from the rear (opposite the drive belts). A Upstream Sensor (Before Converter) B Downstream Sensor (After Converter) C Left or Front Upstream Sensor (Before Converter) D Right or Rear Upstream Sensor (Before Converter)
     Common O2 Sensor Contaminants Oxygen (O2) Sensors commonly fail due to contamination. When checking or replacing an O2 Sensor, visually inspect the sensor body to determine if it has been contaminated by a faulty part or substance upstream, and correct the fault before replacing the sensor. | ANTIFREEZE POISONING |
