A Toyota Corolla typically has two oxygen sensors. One is located before the catalytic converter, known as the upstream sensor, and the other is located after the catalytic converter, known as the downstream sensor. The oxygen sensors play a crucial role in providing information to the engine’s computer to maintain the proper air-to-fuel ratio, which affects the vehicle’s power, emissions, and fuel economy.

Should I replace all O2 sensors at once?
Do I need to replace all of the sensors at once? It is best to replace O2 sensors in pairs. For example, if you replace the downstream left sensor, you should also replace the downstream right.
Which O2 sensor should I replace first?
bank 1 sensor 2 is usually the first to go. just replaced one on a 98. the part is 99 bucks, I paid someone 40 for the install. But yes, you should replace both the upstream O2 sensors at the same time.
How many 02 sensors does a Toyota Corolla have?
Oxygen sensors are located before and after the catalytic converter. A vehicle may have two to five oxygen sensors, and sometimes even more.
What are the symptoms of a bad oxygen sensor?
First, what are the signs an O2 sensor may have gone bad?
- Check Engine Light Comes On.
- Noticeable Loss of Fuel Efficiency.
- Sulfur or ‘Rotten Egg’ smell from Exhaust.
- Black smoke from exhaust.
- Emission levels reach high levels.
- Your engine hesitates, skips, begins bucking or has power surges.
Where is the oxygen sensor located on a Toyota Corolla?
So let’s grab the oxygen sensor socket. Slide it over just like that grab your tool of choice. And break it free.
What are the signs that your O2 sensor is bad?
Signs a Vehicle has a Bad O2 Sensor
- Check Engine Light Comes On.
- Noticeable Loss of Fuel Efficiency.
- Sulfur or ‘Rotten Egg’ smell from Exhaust.
- Black smoke from exhaust.
- Emission levels reach high levels.
- Your engine hesitates, skips, begins bucking or has power surges.
How do I know which oxygen sensor I need?
Check your vehicle’s manual: Your vehicle’s manual should have information on the type of oxygen sensor you need. Use an OBD2 code reader: An OBD2 code reader can help you determine which oxygen sensor is faulty by reading the error code.
What happens if you drive with bad oxygen sensors?
Is It Okay To Drive My Car If It Has A Bad Oxygen Sensor? We recommend not driving with a bad oxygen sensor as the powertrain isn’t running on the correct fuel mixture. Though it may seem fine, if the powertrain is running rich and over-using its fuel it could start to clog the catalytic converter.
Are oxygen sensor 1 and 2 the same?
What is Sensor 1 & 2? The sensor number is telling us where on the exhaust system the O2 sensor or Exhaust temperature sensor is mounted. The 1st sensor is located closest to the engine and the last is located at the rear of the exhaust system.
Which O2 sensor is the main one?
Sensor 1 is the upstream oxygen sensor. It is the sensor that measures the oxygen content in the exhaust, providing an input to the computer, which determines how to adjust the air/fuel ratio. Sensor 1 is the sensor closest to the engine. Sensor 2 is the downstream oxygen sensor.
