The car has 110,000 miles. When should I replace the oxygen sensor? How do I know that it needs to be replaced? Where is it located? Is it an easy replacement?
There is no set time to replace this sensor. Usually the check engine light will come on. A diagnostic scanner will give a code for a bad oxygen sensor. The better diagnostic scanners can give the actual readings of the sensor.
The oxygen sensor is located just below the exhaust manifold on the firewall side of the engine. It is a real pain in the behind to get to. I usually remove the ignition coil pack for better access.
It looks kind of like a spark plug with 3 or 4 wires coming out of it with a plug that connects to the wiring harness.
You need a special socket to remove the sensor. It looks like a spark plug socket with a slot to allow clearance for the wires.
When it is replaced make certain that you use anti seize compound on the threads or you will never remove the sensor again.
You will need to connect the code scanner to the diagnostic port again to reset the check engine light.
