Great video I’m going to switch mines ASAP. I have a Fixd device which you use to read your system on your phone. It actually let me know the error and when I change it I can remove the check engine light with the Fixd device.
Follow up... my O2 sensor was not black like Jake’s , but I was not having running issues, just the engine light. I bought the Bosch sensor online for $184.00 online. Bought the socket at OReilly’s for $15.00. I was able to get my sensor off with a standard ratchet. Replacement took me about 30 minutes. Jake’s instructions were pretty spot on. I thought I was going to need to have someone clear the service engine light, but within 3-4 days the light shut off by itself. Car is running great! Less than $200.00 out of pocket...thanks!
Hi, is the socket size standard? I was wondering if I had to buy a whole set (which seems to be a waste of money) or if there is a specific size to buy.
You can reset/clear codes by disconnecting battery and touching the + and - cables together for about 2 minutes. Then reconnect to battery and start engine.
I have the same Altima with 53 miles I am afraid that it is the transmission since they come out bad, it jerks and the unstable talent plus the revolutions if I put that thing about it takes away the reverse limp well that is
Before pulling fuses if the code reader won't turn off the service engine light, since one of the commentors stated they had an issue, please check with a mechanic or dealership before doing this, I had no issues doing this, just make sure you disconnect the battery 1st, however this is meant to help not cause additional issues. I used to also pull fuses in my old trail blazer in this fashion also. If you are unable to clear the code you can also access the fuse box under the hood on drivers side, you'll pull the fuses #39 and #40 for the "Engine Control Module" and place them back in after 3 seconds or so. You'll need a pair of needle nose pliers and disconnect the black ground on your battery cable before doing so. This will reset your computer and drive train to function properly with the new O2 sensor and the service engine light will finally be gone.
I am not sure where you got this information about pulling the fuses. It caused my battery light to come on and it will not go out. I replaced my battery and check the alternator. and it is good. Pulling the fuses out for 3 seconds is not long enough for the system to discharge. BAD idea. IDK if I should pull them out again since it turned my battery light on and leave them out for a few minutes. I am not sure why I did this especially since I have a blue driver and I can turn off the check engine light that way.
@@dallaspilotcar9293 again I'm not a mechanic and just trying to list information here on what's helped me. Hopefully everything is ok and it works out.
IF you do this to your 2016 you will probably end up screwing up your car as I have mine. Because I did this, I have introduced a huge electrical problem that causes intermittent problems that cannot be detected by a scanner because they do not throw a code. It causes problems such as shutting down the power to your car, power is there when you are in park and goes away in drive, also not allowing low beams to work but only the high beams. I mean a tremendous amount of electrical problems because I pulled these two fuses. DONT DO IT.
@@dallaspilotcar9293 sorry to hear you're having those issues. Did you disconnect the battery before pulling them and placing back in? You also need to disconnect the battery when changing the O2 sensor or you could introduce an arc which could cause electrical issues. Again I'm not a mechanic however recommend clearing codes with a diagnostic reader 1st then pulling the fuses as a last effort. I didn't have those issues when pulling my fuses in that fashion however and only did so as a last ditch effort. I've had no issues since besides the service engine light coming on after around 7k additional miles stating my lower / down O2 sensor needs to be changed. Other than that haven't had those issues.
Great video, getting ready to do mine. You may need to start the vehicle a few times before light goes out. Previous vehicle took about three trips before it cleared,
Hi! Wonderful video! I would just like to add to match the color of the connector before purchasing. Bosch 18133 is federal emissions and is tan while Bosch 18134 is California emissions is Grey. They are not interchangeable!
I also have a 2016 Nissan Altima and I have had to replace mine 4 times. The first 2 times I wasn't buying bosch so that was my bad but if that's all that goes wrong with this 6 year old car with 182k miles I will take it!
Did you have any light on day on brotha ??? I have 2017 Altima & it has check engine plus traction control light on ….. scanned it and it’s telling o2 sensor..
It's been a minute however was like 4 or more items. Dealt with fuel, misfire, idling, exhaust ect. The repair shops wanted to try all kinds of things that were super costly and I thought I would try the easy stuff myself. Oh and also change your PCV valve if you haven't already. Takes like 2 mins and cost around $8.
Hi, is the socket size standard? I was wondering if I had to buy a whole set (which seems to be a waste of money) or if there is a specific size to buy.
It's rediciulous how much auto zone is charging for the o2 sensor that goes on Altima. Good thing there's a Amazon but Nissan has changed a lot the old 1996 Altimas o2 sensors would last the life of the car
I got the same code, same 02 Sensor from Amazon and the check engine light never cleared. It is still running rough,... thinking I may have a faulty O2 sensor. Doesn't sound like that is a very common issue. Was thinking of ordering from another website around the same cost and trying it again.
Hey, I've got a 2016 Nissan Altima 4 cyl here. I ordered the exact part from Amazon. Everything has gone smoothly with one exception... The female wire harness/hub on the sensor does not match w male on my car. There's a 1 mm difference in the height profile & .5mm in width. Did you have this problem?
@@Derek_against_all Yes, I was able to get it to fit. I used a box cutter that I blunted a little bit to open up parts of the plastic of the female harness. If you look down into where the actual connections meet, you'll notice that there is 2 slight outdents in where the male end is meant to slide onto. The problem is that they placed those outdents just about a mm or two above where they should have causing it to not line up. I took the edge of the blunted razor with gloves & carefully began to open those outdents, making the them just slightly tall enough to be able to get it slide on. It'll be a tight fit but It's worked perfectly.
Thats the difference is Federal and California emissions. The plugs are different. The car will have a tag up near the front in the engine compartment that tells you which type you have. It matters.
So what o did o replaced it but then it got burnt again and someone told me that the cap where it fits in the connector has to be the same color as your car so I needed like a gray connection
It worked for me, my light came back on however determined it's the lower O2 sensor so need to change that one next. I'll try to make video of that also.
@@Jake-ou3yk so does this mean you didn’t need to change the upstream O2 sensor? I know it looked bad , but was it a problem as well. Was your car running bad before you changed it or just the engine light was on?
@@misterenergy959 no the upstream needed to be changed and you can see how bad it was in video with burnt oxidation. The downstream now says it needs to be changed, I'm sure there is a number of miles traveled recommendation where they need to be changed. Just haven't taken the time to look up as my car is at 120k miles and have never been changed.
To get of check engine light, sometimes you have to drive a car for atleast 50 miles. The it'll go away automatically. These sensors takes times to adjust with the main computer annd then computers get the signals...
Thank you Jake! I needed this my husband watched your video to fix my sensor
Removing the heat shield makes it much easier to get to

Definitely helped me out . Brought a new car a month ago ! About to change this part this week if that light goes out the new car is going back !

Great video! Just used it to replace the same sensor on my kid's car so it would finally pass emissions inspection!

I'm getting a po15b. Could it be an exhaust leak causing this?
It worked brother . God bless you.
Awesome.

How did you configure it was the o2 sensor
Thanks a lot really needed that helped out a bunch
Awesome brother glad it helped out.

I have an error code p0420 and it says bank1. Is that the same or sensor?
I believe so
Thank you. You saved me a lot of money man.
Whats the socket sizes?

You're a life saver!!!!
Thanks for this video man. I just ordered the part and hopefully, I'll have the same luck you did.
Awesome
Did you have any light on day on brotha ??? I have 2017 Altima & it has check engine plus traction control light on ….. scanned it and it’s telling o2 sensor..

Thanks!
My engine light literally just came on and the code was for P015A, which is also for the O2 sensor
also please film in landscape
Sorry to hear that. Sure we can try that.
I just got that same code. Did this fix your issue?
@@josepadilla7882 following/same code
Hi, is the socket size standard? I was wondering if I had to buy a whole set (which seems to be a waste of money) or if there is a specific size to buy.
Thanks for this video! I was being charged $600! Also, thanks for the Amazon plug because it was so much cheaper getting it from there.
Awesome, good deal. Hopefully it works out.

You're welcome. I'm looking at changing the downstream next. Not alot of videos on these, best of luck.
@@Jake-ou3yk i have altima 2012 I disconnect the ubstreme sensor , is that ok or i have to replace it ..
I got one from Amazon for $54 total
Is the 2017altima sr v4 up stream as well do you know
Not sure however Amazon has a INSERT your car check to see if it will fit.

I also have this problem I think the correct one is 18134 part number bosch
Why disconnect the battery if you at unplugging the sensor?
Does it matter if I get 18134?
They have both down stream and up stream sensors on eBay for 58 bucks lol.
So what o did o replaced it but then it got burnt again and someone told me that the cap where it fits in the connector has to be the same color as your car so I needed like a gray connection
What code did you get for that sensor
I got p105a
Did this work??
It worked for me, my light came back on however determined it's the lower O2 sensor so need to change that one next. I'll try to make video of that also.
Also no changing O2 sensor didn't clear codes, there's a comment thread where I listed which fuse plugs to pull and then put back in.
