hi , thank you , can i use this part no, 2005 rx330 ? i have P0037 code

I heard there’s something called “ adaptation values “ which you should do it with your OBD after replacing any oxygen sensor so they can read the new date but not the stored old data. Any idea on this one ? Great video by the way 👍🏼

Thanks for watching! I have heard of the term with certain codes like P2097. Whenever I have replaced sensors on Toyotas I let the PCM figure it out and see if it resets. If not after some short drives, I reset it with my scanner.

@@gdupler1966 in my case acutely I never had any codes or any engine light but my car was puffing white smoke at startup and the mechanic says your down stream O2 sensors are bad and that’s what cause that smoke !

@@costantineyoussif6679 those two codes point to the upstream pre-cat air fuel sensor on the left side not the downstream.

I've got a lexus rx330 2005 and my check engine light and traction off light came on so I unhooked battery cables and hooked them back on lights went out but was running rough checked and it was out of coolant put coolant in and back to normal next day I cranked it maintenance required light was on and running rough turned it off and barely cranked sat one hour tow truck guy cranked it drove it on truck said seems like it is ok but I went ahead and sent it to garage any idea what could be wrong with the crazy thing

I have PO430 Bank 2 code now. Pops up last week. Next inspection is in a year. Should I drive like this or change those parts?

Just my opinion, more emission issue than drivability, but I don't like having the codes. If it were me, I would try a cat cleaner in the gas tank first. If that doesn't work, replace the sensor. If that doesn't work try: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmiBpbewkcjXcZc.html

Which one is bank 1 sensor 2

Hello! I have a 2013 Lexus es350 with 108k miles, I’m the second owner and I got a check engine light. I went to autozone and the codes were P0441 P0455. The worker who has really helpful told me that it was probably an 02 sensor. Any thoughts as to what it could be? Im going to the mechanic shop two days from now. Thanks!!

The combination of those codes usually means you need a new gas cap. I would look at that, check the vacuum lines, and probably a PCV valve.

Upstream is before the catalytic converter and downstream is after the cat. The air/fuel sensors are upstream and have the part number 234-9042. The downstream oxygen sensors are different and have the part numbers noted in the video.

G, About how long would you say this took you? 1 hour? 2? Mechanic wants to charge $750 for this job (parts+labor) and I'm thinking the parts are under $200 and no way hes gonna spend 4 hours on it LOL

Maia, good question. I would think an experienced mechanic would take 2 hours tops. I purchased the Denso OEM sensors from Amazon for right around $200. I understand that mechanics have to make it worth their while, but if it were me, I would check some other estimates.
