Thank you! With your help, I just changed the upstream sensor on my daughter's 2014 Focus and saved about $120 in the process. Check engine light: gone!
@@ByronMolette I was getting an oxygen sensor code from the car (with my CarMD plug in). I didn't know upstream or downstream though and really confirmed it was probably upstream when I learned the difference between what the two do
@@seancomerford5724 I think so - I found this: The location of the oxygen sensor is usually identified by position (sensor 1, sensor 2) and by cylinder bank (bank 1, bank 2). Bank 1 is the side of the engine where cylinder #1 is located. ... Sensor 1 is the upstream sensor. Sensor 2 is the downstream sensor.Apr 30, 2019
Get yourself an 18” Long 3/8 breaker bar! Save yourself the headache of dealing with a stuck sensor. The bar gives the leverage needed to loosen it with little effort
As a woman learning cars, I can attest that this is very true. I was stuck for like 30 mins; Left and bought an O2 sensor breaker bar. Worked within minutes.
Hi guys, I have a 2014 focus, and have an engine Iight on for b1s1 o2 sensor, so this video helped a lot, but I also have a code for an evap leak “small leak”. Usually with other cars it’s just a bad gas cap or loose gas cap, but since the focus has no gas cap, I’m not sure where to start...do you have any advice on things I can check for?
I had two 2010 ford fusions both cars had the capless fuel system. On both cars I had the check engine light come on for the "evap leak". The leak is caused by the capless fuel filler getting dirty and not sealing well. To fix it spray a little WD-40 on the fuel "cap", then use the capless gas tank funnel that comes with your car and shove it in the gas tank filler neck about 100 times. Next, unplug your car's battery to reset the computer. The check engine light should go away. This method worked for me on both of my cars. Good luck!
Just had my 2014 Focus repaired at cost of $600 with replacement of O2 sensor and the purge value solenoid - wish I had know about the sensor beforehand could had saved some money
If you don’t have the socket you can also take the heat shield off and use a wrench. Be sure to take it easy on the heat shield bolts and use plenty of wd40
Thanks for the tutorial. Quick question. Iam about to replace my oxygen sensor. But unfortunatley I'am confused on how to get the exact same sensor that i need. Have all oxygen sensors have their own codes? So there is error of purchasing the wrong size. Thanks
You should do a spot on removing the plastic intake and replacing the gaskets! I needed to do it on my 2012 focus, couldn't find a vehicle specific how to and it f*cked my world up for the next 2 days... it's all good now but you should do it!
Im doing my upstream oxygen sensor on my 2017 2.0 fusion and i have those special sockets but my 02 sensor is starting to round out. So this may be extreme but in a day i will use my saw jaw and carefully cut the metal tube off it, then use a short 6 point socket with 1/2 drive and carefully try to use two hands on the ratchet. 'Using long extentions are bad because it takes the force away. Using heat is bad because this one is is such a picky spot. Hopefully i can get it out in a day when i attempt to finish the job.
just look up 02 sensor tool. you connect a 1/2 drive ratchet into it and that's about it. it basically a socket with a slit in it for the wire to go through. I believe it is a 7/8" or 22mm on this car.
I wanna see you two ground pound that downstream like the description says. Get your jacks out. Yet to find a video of anyone doing a downstream on a Fiesta on here. You weekend warriors all pick the easiest one. Lol.

how to know whether my upstream sensor is bad or downstream?
I find it hilarious at the video says upstream and downstream and all I have seen was upstream lol
Thanks for this comment 🙏
Thank you for explaining what up stream and down stream meant. I never knew that.
Thanks for the video. I bought the tool at Harbor Freight for $8.00!
What the name of the tool
Thank you! With your help, I just changed the upstream sensor on my daughter's 2014 Focus and saved about $120 in the process. Check engine light: gone!
Nice I'm trying to do mines on my 2012
good work! how did you verify it was bad

Is the upstream also called bank 1 sensor 1

Thank you so much! You had the perfect details I needed to complete this job. Thank you again, David
I have just subscribed your channel, learnt a lot over the covid era
And this video says how to replace the upstream AND downstream and then goes on to only show the upstream.
adam smith right
That's in part 1 ,; There is part 2 that it rolls into after a other
I mean...the process is the same. Just find the one after the cat. Its not rocket science
Which one would be called bank 1 sensor 1? The one you changed on the video or the other one?
Upstream
Thank you for this video. It helped me save money on my sons car.
Are all oxygen sensors 22mm? I'm just replacing them both as buying the part is confusing, everywhere seems to use a different name for the part.
Excellent video. By the way, is that sensor basicly the same as Ford Focus Se 2013?

Also since the sensor is bad anyways can you clip the wire off and use a regular socket?

There is a recall for the Evap system if I remember correctly

BV6Z-9D289-B/ BV6Z-9D289-R Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid in my case
Just had my 2014 Focus repaired at cost of $600 with replacement of O2 sensor and the purge value solenoid - wish I had know about the sensor beforehand could had saved some money
So would this be a similar repair for the 2013 Ford escape SE with the 1.6 turbo engine. The engine are very similar
If you don’t have the socket you can also take the heat shield off and use a wrench. Be sure to take it easy on the heat shield bolts and use plenty of wd40
Does mondeo mk4 have similar place the sensor
I need that racing adapter for the downstream 02 sensor, where can I get one?
What one is bank 1?
Great content as ever. Best focus channel
Thanks for the video. Shouldn't the sensor be tightened to a specific torque?
35 ft/lb... and must apply anti-seize

can you make a video of why 3rd brake light don't work 2010 focus it's not the fuses
thanks
Diagnostic tool days O2 circut sensor has low voltage does it mean sensors need replacement or what's the cause of that?
Hi sir every ford focus year model have specific oxegen sensor or they fit for all year model? Thank sir for your response

how to know which oxygen sensor is bad?
Hi what symptoms have the car
Thank you
Do I have to change both sensors, are they the same parts?

Is this video to fix the P0131 code O2 sensor circuit low
Thanks very helpful
how to know whether my upstream sensor is bad or downstream?
Upstream. Smells like eggs when turn on ac. Rpms dont stay still. Gas mileage reduce
Same downstream sensor for the 2.0 St250 too?

I’m in the same situation. It’s so hard to take out
@@ThatBoyMichael1😊
Seemed more like a really informative SNL skit.
I noticed in the parts list you used a bosch and one was a Motorcraft they should both be replaced with the Motorcraft no aftermarket
How come? Is it preferred to replace with Motorcraft or required?
@@JamesAWild It's always preferred to use an OEM product
Location of any sensors in Ford Focus 2013
Hi there I need your help with my Ford Focus 2014
I paid $400 just to get this fixed. I took it to the Ford dealership and they charge me $130 for the diagnosis plus the repair. 😡
Lol
Ford dealerships are rip offs
Hi
What symptoms have your car when the oxygen sensor have problems?
Thank you
A $20 code scanner from Amazon will save quite a bit of money in diagnosing an issue.
Great video, Thank you! 2017 Focus SE, I subscribed will check your other videos out.
I have a 2006 fusion so whre is of location of upstream and downstream ... can u help me
I have a question do I have to have the special tool in order to remove it or can I just use a wrench
just look up 02 sensor tool. you connect a 1/2 drive ratchet into it and that's about it. it basically a socket with a slit in it for the wire to go through. I believe it is a 7/8" or 22mm on this car.
I just cut the wire and use a regular wrench most the time. Sensor is junk anyways. Those tools are nice though.
Wouldn't you still need the tool for the install??
@@BMETFerg depends on the vehicle. Some you can catch with a box wrench.
I don't have the strength to get mine out and neither do my impact wrench 😅. What should I do?
I ended up using a breaker bar
is that bank 1 sensor 2?
I never changed o2 sensor just sand it with emery cloth and spray it with sensor cleaner
Price to perches?
3:56 that hhmmm 🤔 it like him jajj
Where’s the Downstream sensor located? If you’re not going to actually do it, don’t claim you do in the title. Thanks
Consumer price?
More sensors location
My focus is loosing alot of power while driving, yet it idles fine and starts fine, but as soon as I push it above 2000rpm it has no power
Did you use anti-seize on the threads or something else?
OEM comes with anti-seize on the threads.
mine came with anti-seize in a tiny packet to apply to the thread prior to installing.
You didn't show the downstream sensor. I can't even find it, let alone replace it.
Your new sensor cord is too short. :-(
So which one is bank 1 sensor 1
There are only two sensors on the 2012 Focus. Upstream (Before Cat) and Downstream (After Cat)
Where did u buy it ? The oxygine sensor. ts expensive . Ford sells $129
I paid 70 bucks or so on amazon. Depends on if your car was manufactured in September and after or before September 2011
Check Rockauto.com for a variety of brands.
do you unlock the sensor clockwise or counter clockwise?
Left to loosen! Right to Tight! Lefty-Loosy Righty-Tighty!
So where is the downstream sensor??
After the cat. You can see it when looking from above the engine.
I wanna see you two ground pound that downstream like the description says. Get your jacks out. Yet to find a video of anyone doing a downstream on a Fiesta on here. You weekend warriors all pick the easiest one. Lol.
I would imagine they chose the bad sensor, not just the easiest one.
@@joshbeck1456 If the easy one goes bad, that is what you change.
Mine will not unscrew no matter how hard i pull i tried rust remover it will not budge
Breaker bar
It will come off using a breaker bar, make sure the tool around the sensor gets a good grip so you don't round the edges.
That's a wide band upstream oxygen sensor, about $182.00.
How come you skip steps, I need to see everything including torquing it tight.
250 views 75k subs???
Ford quoted me $260 to do this?!
Downstream is in completely different location -
I don't get why you used that tool. The wire's in the way, right? But you're throwing that part out. Why not just cut the wire?
Then how would you fit the new one. With the wire!..
