Location of O2 Sensor on Toyota Sequoia
The O2 sensor for Bank 1 in a Toyota Sequoia is located in the exhaust manifold. It is the first oxygen sensor on the driver’s side of the engine. Specifically, for a 2002 Sequoia, the O2 sensor 1 in bank 1 is located before the catalytic converter, on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Is an O2 sensor hard to replace?
In theory, it’s relatively simple to replace a bad O2 sensor. They are typically connected to the vehicle’s wiring harness by a single plug and are attached to the exhaust system. A specialized O2 sensor socket wrench attachment is usually needed to remove the component after it has been unplugged.
Can I drive with a bad O2 sensor?
Can I Drive My Car With A Bad Oxygen Sensor? We recommend against driving with a bad O2 sensor as the powertrain is not running on the correct fuel mixture. While it may perform fine in the beginning, if your engine is running rich and using too much fuel it might begin to clog the catalytic converter.
How many O2 sensors does a 2003 Toyota Sequoia have?
On the 4.7-liter V-8, there are four oxygen sensors. Two are located before the catalytic converters, and two after (or in).
What are the 3 common causes of O2 sensor failure?
Oxygen sensor failure in cars is commonly caused by aging and wear, contamination from substances like oil or coolant, and carbon buildup resulting from fuel or oil additives. Regular maintenance and addressing issues such as leaks can help extend the sensor’s life.
How hard are O2 sensors to replace?
Depending on the make and model, your vehicle could have 2 to 4 of them to replace. Even if you have minimal experience with cars, they aren’t hard to replace. Twist off the old sensors, install the new ones, and then appreciate how much better your vehicle runs.
How much does it cost to replace the oxygen sensor on a Toyota Sequoia?
The average cost for a Toyota Sequoia Oxygen Sensor Replacement is between $344 and $377. Labor costs are estimated between $58 and $73 while parts are priced between $286 and $303.
How do I know if it’s my catalytic converter or O2 sensor?
To check if it’s a clogged cat versus a bad oxygen sensor (when you don’t have a check engine light), grab a vacuum gauge. Connect the gauge to an intake manifold vacuum line. Start the engine, let it idle, and check the reading on the gauge. This is your baseline vacuum.
Can I replace an O2 sensor myself?
You can do these yourself if you can get to them you just need a good O2 sensor wrench and some seafoam green label deep creep creeping oil. They tend to get pretty stuck if they have been on a while. A little anti seize helps on install.
Where are my O2 sensors located?
The upstream oxygen sensor(s) are located below the exhaust manifold flanges and above the catalytic converter. The downstream oxygen sensor(s) are located in the exhaust pipe, behind the catalytic converter.
How can I tell which O2 sensor is bad?
A decrease in fuel efficiency can be a telltale sign that an O2 sensor is not performing as it should. This can happen because of a fuel mixture that is either too lean or too rich. Such a swing in A/F ratio is a sign that an upstream or control sensor is faulty.
