Bank 1 is where the number one cylinder/spark plug is located. If this is a 4 cylinder engine, number 1 is at the front of the motor and bank 1 is irrelevant and the number 1 sensor would be the one screwed into the exhaust manifold attatched to the cylinder head. If it is a 6 cylinder than number one is on the side closest to the radiator, and at the back of the engine near the exhaust crossover. The number 1 sensor is going to be the one screwed into the exhaust manifold just outside the cylinder head.

Im trying to find out on my 1998 ford contour svt 2.5 .where is the 02 sensors located.im actually looking for the downstream 02 sensor which i think its the bank 1 sensor 2.i see 2 from underneath

It's in the center, rear engine area, mounted in the exhaust manifold. Kind of a pain to get at, but doable. It's easier if you take the oil filter off.

Location of the bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor on a 2001 ford escape

B1 means the sensor is located on the same bank of the engine that has the #1 cylinder. B2 is located on the opposite bank.
S1 means the sensor is located BEFORE the catalytic converter
S2 means the sensor is located AFTER the catalytic converter

You didn't say which engine you have, so I've included the diagrams of both 4 cyl and 6 cyl so you can see the banks

Where is the O2 Sensor located on 2003 Ford Focus? Check Engine Light is on and trouble shooter device says the problem is in the O2 Sensor Heater Circuit, but where is it located.

The code will tell you which O2 sensor it is.
The code will point to either bank 1 sensor 1; bank 1 sensor 2; bank 2 sensor 1; bank 2 sensor 2.

From what I remember with a focus, it should only have 2 sensors, sensor 1 will be located before the cat, and sensor 2 will be located after the cat.
