Is this the correct A/F sensor..........
Just went FBO and I contemplated just buying new A/F sensors when doing the header install but then didn't have time to order them so I removed the old ones and reused them in the PPE headers.
Anyhow last night got a CEL and I pulled the code in Techstream of P2241 "Oxygen Sensor Pumping Current Circuit Low (for A/F sensor) (Bank 2 Sensor 1)"
So I'm thinking that one of them went bad? Maybe because the WD-40 sprayed on got onto the sensor and fouled it out, or it was just time for them to be replaced anyway?
So I found these on RockAuto here: http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/l...2)+sensor,5132
It's the Denso upstream listing at $109.79 correct? Is this the right one I need or the equivalent of the OEM one at the dealership?? The price isn't too bad for both sensors since I would order both and replace as a pair.
What do you guys think??
Thx

I think that's the one I used. No issues with it so far in about a year...

^^^^^^^^^^^Cool, did you replace both when you did your headers?

Those are the ones I ordered..I ordered mine from Amazon Prime free 2 day shipping

Bank 2 Sensor 1 is the upstream sensor on the passenger side, correct? I think the $109 price is for each. I bought the same sensor for my replacement, but haven't done it yet.
I'm needing to replace mine too due to code P0051 (HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 2, Sensor 1). Similar to your thought, I think this is due to the sensor being damaged during my header install (5 months and k miles ago). My car is a 2012 with 39k miles.

Yea, I think it's from the install of the headers a week and a half ago as well, it's no coincidence that I have this CEL so soon after the install of the PPE headers
Yea it's $109 for each sensor, which I'm going to replace both at the same time, better safe than having the other one go out a couple weeks later down the road

Just ordered them from Amazon because I could get them by the end of this week at the latest and I wanted to install them this weekend.
Yea I can take some photos when I do them and provide a step by step, but remember I have PPE headers so it'll look a bit different obviously then the stock manifolds. Never done a DIY so I'll do my best.

I did and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. I didn't take pics because time wouldn't allow because I was renting a lift and I went over my time.
Anyhow it's pretty straight forward with an O2 sensor tool attachment to make it easier to get around the wires. The problem I had was releasing the clip from the O2 extension that came with the PPE headers. It was extremely tight to unhinge and we eventually busted off the black plastic tab portion that held in the A/F sensor to that extension
So what we did was rig 3 zip ties together to loop around the extension connection and through the 4 wires in the sensor to artificially create a binding method to hold the sensor in place or else it would just fall out!
After about 2 hours we completed everything and no more CEL and the car runs good!
Just a learning experience on those tabs for sure!
If you are taking them out of the stock manifolds it should be easier, but just be careful with the plastic tab release point and not to put too much pressure on it because it can be brittle with the heat and snap off like mine did possibly. Other than that it should take you no more than 45 min tops and perhaps even less.
So level of difficulty with the O2 tool I would say is 3-4..........shouldn't be too bad, if you have time spray some PB blaster/WD-40 on them before hand let it sit for about 5-10 min and if possible do it when the car is cool as the threads should not be expanded when cool.

Really?? What was wrong with the extension?
