2000 ranger O2 sensor

I am getting a PO153 error code. Print out shows bank 2, sensor 1 is slow to respond. Which bank is 2?

Thanks
Bill

Welcome to FTE!

Bank 1 is always the bank with the #1 cylinder, so Bank 2 = driver's side on your Ranger.

Got it figured out. Wanted to verify what I was thinking, as the parts store told me different. I was right, they were wrong.

Thanks for all the replies...

Rock,

Looks like our messages crossed.

I knew that, but had to be sure, since the Advance guys told me bank 2 was the RH side. I guess this thing is up on the exhaust manifold close to the firewall. Hope it's not too tough to get at.

Thanks for the assist.

Bill

If you have the 4.0L I highly recommend removing the front tire (and spash guard if applicable) and accessing the 02 sensor through the wheel well.

Wish it was a 4.0. It's the 3.0 flex fuel.

An interesting thing I noticed this AM, the check engine light is no longer on. I have not yet touched anything under the hood. So, me thinks it's a wiring problem vs the sensor itself.
