Welcome to FTE.
P2195 = O2 signal stuck lean. Might be a faulty O2 sensor, or it might be a vacuum leak, or sticking fuel injectors giving a lean squirt, or an acting out MAF sensor, leak in the exhaust manafold close to the O2 sensor, ect, so maybe consider looking/trouble shooting a little deeper before replacing the O2 sensor, as it might not be the root cause of your O2 sensor stuck lean code, as its just reporting what its seeing & is going on upstream!!!! If you install & it doesn't fix the problem, the O2 sensor likely can't be returned for credit.
Post up All trouble code Numbers you have, as they can offer up good trouble shooting clues, if something else is causing the lean code.
How many miles on this ride & did this code pop up after some event????
All that said, the upstream O2 sensor is located in the down pipe between the exhaust manafold & the cat converter input.
You'll need a special slotted socket for wire clearance to remove it. Most autoparts stores have a removal kit with all sorts of different size & configuration sockets to fit tight space problems, that we can check out for a refundable deposit, in their Loan-A-Tool progarm. You'll want to do this with the system cold. If its rusty, apply a good rust buster & let it soak in before trying to remove the O2 sensor.
If you need a picture, log on to the Auto Zone website & enter your vehicles particulars & you'll likely find a pictorial of where its located & what it looks like down there. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!!!! Some thoughts for consideration, let us know how it goes.
