I just had a code thrown after a day at the track and it comes up as the P1132 bank 1 sensor 1. Now one guy told me that bank one was the drivers side. Ive aslo read that that is the passengers side O2 sensor.

Which is it?

Also, im gonna try and do this in O'riely's parking lot. What should i tell them i need? A floor jack, 7/8 wrench (what my shop guy told me), and just the new O2 sensor?

Also should i replace both at the same time just to keep them "balanced"? Both rears are disabled because of my O/R h.

Thanks boys!

 

haha the classic work on it in the parking lot...i see it all the time, i believe bank 1 is passenger side...and yes just replace the o2 sensor

 

Yea im a college student so im tryin to save some $$. See i keep gettin mixed answers about which side is which.

So imma just replace both and call it a day. Am I in for any suprises since my car has LTs??

 

well i needed to extend mine for my LTs, do you have extensions i just spliced mine and soldered new wire to save money cuz im a 22 yr old college student as well haha

 

Bank 1 is the passenger side.



The wrench needed is actually 22mm (0.866"), 7/8" (0.875") will work--however if you are using an open end 7/8" wrench and the sensor is very tight you could end up rounding off the hex on the sensor body. This can happen with a 22mm wrench too, but using a 7/8" can exacerbate the potential.

There is no need to change both as in closed loop the banks are individually controlled (via the left and right short term fuel trims) by the PCM based upon each bank's O2 sensor. The long term fuel trims used in open loop mode are also learned individually for each bank.

 

Jeeze ive been waitin for you to chime in! lol Ok passenger side it is. I went and bought at o2 sensor. But wasn't able to put it on. Im takin it to my gfs step-dads house in a couple days and he'll let me use his jack.

THANKS@!!
