For a younger man you are extremely well spoken and fully educated on you source material. Great Job! Your parents should be so proud of how intelligent you have become
I want to thank you for releasing these videos. Yes they're long, but it's an education on how these things work. Not some quick fix. Very, very valuable information.
Hey Pear CD, thanks for watching! Yes, they do get pretty lengthy, but good training can not be done quickly all the time. My goal is to simulate a technician training class with these presentations. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Woaw , Real professional schooling here , the best 1 hour on this subject , I enjoyed the way the information is being conveyed, attitude and dynamics are superb , Thank you Mr. Becker and Fritz !! 👏👏
This is the best video I have seen on O2 (Lambda) sensors. I taught F.A.S.T.(Factory Authorized Suzuki Training) at MM I(Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) 2006~2011. Even though some of the info is simplified it makes it easier to understand. I would not have been allowed to explain anything that was not approved curriculum but a few students were always interested in how and why things work. The information was much more difficult to find back then (except in technical terms majority wouldn't understand) I'm going to link this on Facebook as several of my former students stay in touch and are still interested in learning 'more'
Hey Peter, thanks! That means a lot to us! Thanks for linking it man. I hope your former students enjoy it as well. Encourage comments if there's any questions. I answer them all myself. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Services Instructor
I'm not a professional tech, but the nerd in me loves info videos like this, and this one was excellent!! Will definitely be checking out other videos. Thanks!
Thanks for watching David! I hope you like our other videos as well. If you have any questions don't hesitate to leave a comment! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Thanks Markus Roby! We really strive to be a part of that "short list." There is too much information out there that isn't trustworthy. Our goal is to put out great tech info that everyone can trust and use in their job everyday! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
ike's confidence and knowledge and preparedness comes through in his presentation. In spades. This all is critical to the viewer/student: if the instructor is "um"ing and "uh"ing, it results in losing the attention of the student. I've signed up for class notification due to Mike's presentation. He's a class 1 pro! Sign me "one who used to do training"; it's not easy.
First time @ your video, and love learning about the systems and fixes. At this time was researching sensors because of a "lean code" due to acceleration issue. Knowledge is power. Thank you!
Just changed my upstream O2 sensor on my 1999 Saturn SL. Yes, it’s still running great. I cleaned throttle body, changed plugs and wires, cleaned and re-oiled my K&N air filter plus other parts. The car ran great until it warmed up. Finally my service engine light came on. Took it to Advance Auto and they said O2 sensor code came up. That was actually what i was suspecting. I didn’t have the understanding on how it worked or just how important it is for engine performance. So with a new O2 sensor it runs like a top. I won’t be convinced that everything is working until i take a longer drive and I’ll know. I was wondering why my damn fuel economy went to hell. I was always getting 38mpg on average. This is highway/city average. Highway normally 40+ mpg! I love my old Saturn and will drive it until it dies. Thanks for your informative video!
This is what you tube is for in my books. People like this man are awesome, he has a great teaching style. Good job on your course. Looking forward to many more. Subbed
To All you non mechanic DO IT YOUR SELFERS, If you want confirmation that your being told 100% accurate information on how a system works and how to diagnose. This guy has obviously torched his brain in researching thoroughly to where he could diagnose these specific problems in his sleep, without sounding egotistical, I consider myself and actually know that I'm a very very good mechanic with 32 years experience and I have learned some new information from this guys videos, and like anything your not quite an expert at, constant, consistently, with consistency will make you an expert, what I mean is always understand how a system works before you even waste 1 minute in trying to diagnose, watch this video over and over until you can repeat it in your sleep and you will become a expert, hard off to these guys in sharing there brilliant knowledge with everyone
Great info, no doubt about it, but when you have text or diagrams on the screen and the viewer is trying to read it, *stop switching back to Mike talking. We know what he looks like. *We are trying to read what's on the screen* _Try to read this_ 15:24 Thanks.
Hey Cooll Asice, thanks for watching. Sorry about the weird camera switching. In this video I would suggest pausing it at parts that you would like to read. We will definitely work on making this better. Thanks! Mike Becker, Senior Technical Services Instructor
Outstanding job guys, I just learned all there is to know about HO2 sensors and fuel trim. Thanks for the lesson. If only i could catch your live broadcast so i could get me one of those awesome t-shirts, too busy during the day. Can't wait for the next broadcast. Thanks again.
Thanks Rags2Wrenchs! I don't think this video has everything you need to know...but it's a good start. So, you mention that you want to watch live. If we were to stream a live broadcast in the evening, say like 7pm central time. Is that something you would watch? We are always searching for new ways to be able to get you guys to watch live! Thanks again! MIke Becker, Technical Services Instructor
We'll see what happens moving forward. If and when it happens to change times I'll inform everyone at least a month ahead of time. Thanks for the info! MIke Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Is this an add for not getting a modern Car.My everyday driver is 60 years old and has one screw to adjust the fuel mix.I don't need to pay two computer mechanics plus parts two day's not to fix it. My car gets 37 mpg.
Just found your channel today, love these fuel trim videos! Solid info and very well presented... I'm going to say it, best O2 sensor video ever. Cheers guys.
Hey Scott, first off thanks for watching! That's a great compliment. I'm glad you've found our channel. Let me know what you think of some of our other videos. You should join us for our next live training. We go live July 13th at 11am and 2pm central time. Hope to see you there! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
This is so great, to learn here what I would have to pay thousands from a tech school. I know that I need to continue watching more of your tutorials. I am expecting some parts for my 2009 Nissan Rogue S, it has the check engine "nightmare" light very steady I thought I had everything packed down to work on my car, but I will continue your tutorials, so that I can get straight to the problem and not go guessing. Thanks. And the first Q's answer is B.
Thanks for the very kind words Miguel! I am glad you are going to watch more! I must say though, tech school is a great start. No matter how good these classes I make are, they don't beat hands on learning like a tech school can provide. As for you Nissan, what code are you getting? I'd be happy to help! Test don't guess right? Thanks for commenting! Actually technician B is not correct. The rear O2 sensor commonly will not switch, it should remain much more steady. The correct answer was Neither tech. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
cool stuff. Very appreciated. I thought a tiny oil leak was innocuous. Just so happened to drip on an o2 sensor . Rear / back . now I understand what my vehicle has been doing for years.. with a half bad / basically slowly failing o2 sensor.
Very nice commentary Mike in your discussion of narrow band O2 sensors. And with the O2 waveforms being shown on the two vehicles, ties it all together. On the second vehicle, it's obvious that it needs an O2 sensor and a fix of the oil leak. Is there any chance there will be a follow-up on the GTO to see what the actual problem is with it? Thanks again Mike and say hello to your co-worker also.
Hey Stuzman, yes we are going to get to actually fixing the GTO, probably in the class following widebands. I am planning to get into diagnosing specific lean or rich conditions. Different test procedures to look for vacuum leaks, or fuel issues, or whatever, but we will be fixing the GTO! :) Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
D neither.. Very nice video nicely done, nice sound absorbing materials also.. Easily one of the best detailed videos I’ve seen on the subject. Dabbled into this sort of thing way back in late 80,s had my first snap-on scanner early 90,s. I loved and welcomed the multi-port shift away from carbs... However I Leaned more towards the 12volt accessories and such hehe... happy good times.
Great video!!! amazing information... I love the fact that it's really specific. I have a degrees in electronics and I'm eager to learn new skills... mostly because I'm broke I can't pay a mechanic to fix my truck...hahaha!!! But at some level I'm glad that my truck it's giving me problem because I really enjoyed to learn all this stuff today...👍👍👍👍
Awesome video, thanks so much. When I saw how long it was going to be, I thought I'd skip through it, but ended up watching it from start to finish, sometimes going back a bit to check again! One question: Does the heater stay on or does the ECU know when it's hot enough from exhaust gases and turn off the heater current?
Hey Vincent, thanks for watching! That all depends on the strategy of the computer. Many will keep it on, just at a lower current draw. Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
The white heater sensor wires can go either way, i missed your live demo as I'm in the UK, but correctly correctly answered to the quiz, would love a t shirt, have now learned how to read long term and short term fuel trims. Regards Pete
Hey Rana, that is correct! Sorry, but we can only give out t-shirts during the LIVE broadcast. Thanks for watching and answering though! Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Robert, that is an interesting viewpoint. I agree, if you understand the basics it makes the more complex newer stuff easier. You have to build that foundation. Feedback carbs are an ancient system, and to be completely honest with you, I know very little about them. When I was in Tech school years ago they didn't really even teach carbs at all. Everything driveability started with early fuel injection for me. I guess everyone starts learning at different points, but as long as the basic system knowledge is there we can all learn the new stuff together! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
D is the answer ,and I wanna tell you that at first glance I thought its along booring video , but while watching every second told me something new , thanks alot from Egypt
Shms Emad, thank you! D is correct, well done! I am glad you learned a lot. I wouldn't want this to just be a long boring video. I'm glad you found it to be worth your time. Have a great day. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Awesome content! I'm great a changing parts but know nothing about using scopes and multimeters in car even though I have a low voltage background. I definitely learned a lot from this video. Can I buy you guys a beer or something?
Hey Splash, thanks! Glad you liked it. Make sure to catch the next one live on March 8th for your next shot at winning! Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Outstanding video! I assume the scan tool only works on OBD2 vehicles. But does the Oscilloscope work on OBD1 vehicles as well as OBD2? Being just a matter of knowing where to make the connections?
Thank you so much for inviting me on oxygen sensors I was stuck there for a while thank you but one more question on a BMW 2005 Bank 1 and bank 2 those are up front by the spark plugs or by the muffler I mean by the muffler or I should say that Cadillac converter correct
Great video! Very educational. I wonder though if this O2 closed loop is fast enough for drag racing applications where the run is over in 8.50 seconds.
Two failures P0141 and P0161 on 2002 ws6 transam. Could it be the sensors are fine but the catalytic converter has failed.Thanks for the great instructional video.
Hey JD Kaz, these codes are for both post cat sensors. What's the likelihood that both cats failed at the same time? All 4 sensors share a power and a ground. Also, these are heater circuit failures, so it's not a cat issue. I would investigate both heaters and see if they are open. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Thanks for the quick reply. I just swapped out the intake manifold. I wonder if the gasget sealant is leaking. Also I have turned off the engine light and it hasn't yet returned. The webcast was very helpful. Keep up the good work!!!!
I wish I had found this video ten years ago, it would have made the effort to learn all of this less painful. Even so, you've done another excellent review, Mike. I love this kind of scientific review. By the way, one issue I've always wondered about is the correct choice for antiseize compounds in various applications (not just O2 sensors). I've got nickel and copper antiseize, but wonder a little about when I should reach for one over the other. I believe around salt water there is a third option, and even an aluminum antiseize. Is it correct to assume that the choice rotates around the risk of electrolytic reactions?
I to am looking forward to the wideband session. I am not a mechanic by trade but I'm learning these tests and their importance. Can you really clean if thats the case sensors?
Hey David, thanks for watching! The wide band class is already out. Be sure to check it out. Typically these sensors can not be cleared. Once contaminated it is a good idea to replace them for best performance of the sensor. Mike Becker,Technical Services Instructor
Thanks Ron! Yeh, the class is a long one...I had soooo much info I wanted to teach! Hope you enjoy the rest of it. If you have any questions don't hesitate. Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Hey James, If you hold them right next to each other, yeh. There are subtle differences. The Titania body is usually longer and completely smooth. Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor

When people say "look it up on RUclips" they're talking about finding guys like this.
A
C is correct
For sure! This is great!
Him or scannerdanner very good teachers
💯, not everything on YT is cats, or adult children opening toys
I count this video among a very short list of highly informative auto tech 'know how 'youtube videos. You guys are awesome for making this public!
Thanks Markus Roby! We really strive to be a part of that "short list." There is too much information out there that isn't trustworthy. Our goal is to put out great tech info that everyone can trust and use in their job everyday!

Here's another intelligent question. With an 02 sensor adapter how is it able to trick the PCM to think you still have one??
You explain things so well. Thank you from South Africa.
Thank you very much Shakari51!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Do I need to disconnect the negative on my battery before changing my up stream Bank 2 sensor 1? This is a 2014 Yukon XL 5.3L V8 SLT.
Hey Chris, naw, it won't matter as long as the ignition is turned off.

Use Propane instead of Brake Cleaner. Much safer and doesn't damage your rubber hoses.
Great tip Gary!
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
I have learned a lot from this RUclips channel, more than a lot of the other frivolous RUclips videos
I thank u
Thank you very much!
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Like Pine Hollow.
Is this an add for not getting a modern Car.My everyday driver is 60 years old and has one screw to adjust the fuel mix.I don't need to pay two computer mechanics plus parts two day's not to fix it. My car gets 37 mpg.
What kind of car?
That's awesome Jonathan! Killer fuel eco!
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
1st time viewer right here!! And All I can say is thank you for ALL the info on 02 sensors!👍 Great job now i gotta go work on my car again! Lol.
Hey Scott, thanks!!! Good luck with your car :)
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
1 hr 11 min 'basics'!
I can't imagine what an advanced level EVAP video would be like. At least 8 hours I would guess
I hate evap circuits!
I love this young buck... Breaking off some invaluable knowledge...!!!!!!! I'm now a sub!!!
Hey Fred, thanks a ton! Welcome to the channel :)
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Neither of the techs are correct. The second sensor is after the 🐈
Why would that prevent it from failing? Disconnect a o2 sensor and tell me you don’t get a constant voltage
Awesome clear lecture. Very good and clear illustrations. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the class!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Neither A or B
That's correct, well done!

This Is a great video class. I’ve paid for classes that are similar in richness of information for different subjects.
You're a great teacher, thank you very much! I have a much better understanding of o2 sensors now.
Thank you for some reasons I need a refresher on o2 sensor as well as other sensors from time to time.
This is so great, to learn here what I would have to pay thousands from a tech school. I know that I need to continue watching more of your tutorials.

Perfect explanation regarding O2 sensors,....its good, how can we learn about O2 sensors. Thank you
Sorry sir love you guys teaching. 😅 just was so busy paying attention that im in your school.
Outstanding video! I assume the scan tool only works on OBD2 vehicles. But does the Oscilloscope work on OBD1 vehicles as well as OBD2? Being just a matter of knowing where to make the connections?
Hey Elbert, thanks for watching! Some scan tools win function on OBD1 vehicles. As far as the scope, that'll work on anything electrical :)

Thank you so much for inviting me on oxygen sensors I was stuck there for a while thank you but one more question on a BMW 2005 Bank 1 and bank 2 those are up front by the spark plugs or by the muffler I mean by the muffler or I should say that Cadillac converter correct
Bank 1 S1 and Bank 2 S1 are pre cat (next to spark plugs.) S1= pre cat.
Bank 1 S2 and Bank 2 S2 are post cat (after catalyst). S2=. Post cat.

Great tutorial series!
Thanks Carlos!

Great video! Very educational. I wonder though if this O2 closed loop is fast enough for drag racing applications where the run is over in 8.50 seconds.
Two failures P0141 and P0161 on 2002 ws6 transam. Could it be the sensors are fine but the catalytic converter has failed.Thanks for the great instructional video.
Hey JD Kaz, these codes are for both post cat sensors. What's the likelihood that both cats failed at the same time? All 4 sensors share a power and a ground. Also, these are heater circuit failures, so it's not a cat issue. I would investigate both heaters and see if they are open.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just swapped out the intake manifold. I wonder if the gasget sealant is leaking. Also I have turned off the engine light and it hasn't yet returned. The webcast was very helpful. Keep up the good work!!!!
I wish I had found this video ten years ago, it would have made the effort to learn all of this less painful. Even so, you've done another excellent review, Mike. I love this kind of scientific review. By the way, one issue I've always wondered about is the correct choice for antiseize compounds in various applications (not just O2 sensors). I've got nickel and copper antiseize, but wonder a little about when I should reach for one over the other. I believe around salt water there is a third option, and even an aluminum antiseize. Is it correct to assume that the choice rotates around the risk of electrolytic reactions?
very well presented and understood / THX !!
Thank you very very much Mick Hog!

I to am looking forward to the wideband session. I am not a mechanic by trade but I'm learning these tests and their importance. Can you really clean if thats the case sensors?
Hey David, thanks for watching! The wide band class is already out. Be sure to check it out. Typically these sensors can not be cleared. Once contaminated it is a good idea to replace them for best performance of the sensor.

Can you tell a Titania sensor from a zirconia by looking at them?
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Subscribed.
Hey James, If you hold them right next to each other, yeh. There are subtle differences. The Titania body is usually longer and completely smooth.

Great video and explanation my answer was D.
