Is replacing an oxygen sensor as easy as I think it is? Just pull the old one out, put the new one in, and you're on your way?
Does the check engine light go away automatically or do you have to reset it after you fix the problem?
In addition to my water pump leak, I took my truck to Toyota to investigate the check engine light and they said that it was the front oxygen sensor that was bad. They've already ordered the part, but I'm wondering if it would be easy enough for me to just replace that to avoid their labor cost. I looked it up in the FSM for my truck but it just said to replace it...didn't really say how.

 

Im assuming all youd have to do is undo it, clean the area, then put the new one in.
Also unplug the battery to reset the check engine light.

Then again ive never done it.

 

^^^ correct. unplug your negative cable, swap the new o2 sensor in (1 bolt, 1 plug) and hook the battery back up and it's all gravy

 

I'd help.................for food

 

i don't know If I'll be cutting tomorrow but the crawl box is going in.

You would do anything for food.

 

Just make sure to put anti-seize on the threads of the new one or you will never get it out again.

 

Ooh, I didn't know that that's all you had to do to reset the check engine light. Thanks!

Thank you!

Any particular kind? I did a quick search on Napa's online store and they have 17 different kinds.

 

Antisieze is all the same. NevrSeez if you can find it tho

 

What time you getting to it?

 

Cool, thanks! I'll look for it.

 

So I fixed my camper...

 

I dont know i have to go down to the irace center in the morning so i guess around lunch time.

 

For what?

I'll try and swing by around then. Pretty sure I can make it.
