Ok so It came on showing telling me my o2 sensors were bad...no problem I just replaced them. The computer is now showing P0153- 02 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 1)...What could be the cause of this, or do I just need to reset it

Onemanzu · January 8th, 2007, 10:49 PM

try resetting the car... unplug the battery for a few minuets and then re connect it and run it again... if you get the message again...

well... maybe the wire's went bad?

ByPopularDemand · January 8th, 2007, 11:04 PM

Hmm I did lenthen the wires myself, but the car runs like a champ. When the sensors were bad it bogged and had no power and would nearly stall all of the time

ByPopularDemand · January 8th, 2007, 11:05 PM

Could it be because the spot where the sensor screws in on LT headers is farther away

Onemanzu · January 8th, 2007, 11:28 PM

... you didn't get the O2 sensor extensions? you can pick those up for about $40 bucks...

umm ... is it possible for the sensor to be backward??

or... could a wire be bad ... you said you did it yourself... could the ones you used to lenghtin be wrong gauge or something?

ByPopularDemand · January 8th, 2007, 11:32 PM

I got the right guage wire, but how would a sensor be backwards

Onemanzu · January 8th, 2007, 11:34 PM

i don't know i have never had to mess with them... i was thinking the part that goes in the tube... could that be the part that was backward?? im not sure what they look like tho

chrish91286 · January 8th, 2007, 11:35 PM

its impossible to get the 02 sensor backwards

chrish91286 · January 8th, 2007, 11:36 PM

if your still having performance problems it is probably the cats

Onemanzu · January 8th, 2007, 11:36 PM

aight... cool

well im not sure what to say...

ByPopularDemand · January 8th, 2007, 11:38 PM

It runs like a champ and I dont have cats

chrish91286 · January 8th, 2007, 11:43 PM

oh well never mind then....um the 02 sensor is probably throwing the code because it is seeing improper reading because you dont have the cats on there... just get some MIL eliminators from the net and your good to go

Onemanzu · January 8th, 2007, 11:45 PM

ohh yea... i assumed that you would have those... that could be it

ByPopularDemand · January 9th, 2007, 12:04 AM

I do have the MIL eliminators...the code bsnk 2 sensor 1 is for the front sensor before the cat...or where the cats would be

Onemanzu · January 9th, 2007, 12:07 AM

... well ...

i have no idea

ByPopularDemand · January 9th, 2007, 12:11 AM

Yeah im pretty stumped too maybe ill try new sensors and extensions...I just found it wierd because a non functional sensor throws a different code than the one I got. Perhaps I need a tuner and some new air/fuel ratios?

chrish91286 · January 9th, 2007, 12:14 AM

it cound just be the new headers and thats causing the code i really dont know.... sry dude

ByPopularDemand · January 9th, 2007, 12:17 AM

That could be it...I am completely lost...

ByPopularDemand · January 9th, 2007, 02:50 PM

Do the sensors need to heat up to a certain temp...if so the new placement could be affecting that
