How many oxygen sensor's, and where are they located on a 2003 chevy impala?
There are two sets of 02 sensors on most cars today. On set is set directly behind the header, one on each side, if it is a V engine. This set is used for the engine's ECU to control timing as well as other variables. The other set is placed on a bung in your Catalytic converter. This 02 sensor is used for emissions purposes only.
Chevrolet Impala comes equipped with two oxygen sensors, one on either side of the catalytic converter. Locating the sensors is as simple as crawling under the vehicle.
The bank 1, sensor 2 oxygen sensor is located downstream of the catalytic converter. To get to the sensor, crawl underneath the vehicle and trace the exhaust pipe until you reach the catalytic converter. Continue to follow the exhaust pipe until you reach the bank 1, sensor 2 oxygen sensor.
You should be able to identify the oxygen sensor as a single wire about 3 to 6 inches long. The oxygen sensor is mounted to the exhaust pipe and should slightly protrude from the pipe.
The oxygen sensor is an important part of the vehicle exhaust system. The sensor tests the amount of air in the exhaust stream. It then sends this information to the engine control computer, which determines how much fuel is necessary to maintain a proper air-to-fuel ratio.
