Are all oxygen sensor the same?
O2 sensors, also called lambda sensors or oxygen sensors, measure the proportion of oxygen in vehicle exhaust. Physically, there’s no difference between front and back O2 sensors.
How do you wire a universal oxygen sensor?
Splice the new wires. Take the wires on the new sensor with the wires that were previously connected to the connector. These are the same wires that were removed from the connector in step 1. Identify the different wires.
How often does a universal oxygen sensor need to be changed?
The four-wire universal oxygen sensor must be changed approximately every 60,000 miles and requires a specific wiring process. Install the four-wire universal oxygen sensor. Cut the original wire connector exposing the copper ends of the wires.
How much does a universal O2 sensor cost?
It takes three O2 sensors — two before and one after the catalytic converter. They’re all the four-wire type. The car has 165,000 miles already so the less money spent the better. Surfing the ‘net suggests I have two options — go with OEM-style sensors for about $100 each, or “universal” 4-wire sensors for under $50.
What does Bosch Universal heated oxygen sensor do?
Bosch has created an aftermarket universal heated oxygen sensor program. These sensors meet OEM operating requirements and have a patented connector system easing installation. This connector system has been proven to be watertight, protect against contamination, and withstand the effects of extreme temperatures and engine vibration.
