What codes did you get?

V6 has 4 sensors.

Bank 1 sensor 1
Bank 1 senosr 2

Bank 2 sensor 1
Bank 2 sensor 2

Bank 1 is closest to the firewall

There should be 4 sensors--2 on bank 1 and 2 on bank 2. This document might help:

throwing code P0037 Bank 1 Sensor 2 ....so i am now looking for a new sensor.

is it better to replace sets or just do it as they fail? ive never replaced more than 1 at a time ...owned 16 or so cars in my life...lol....

bank1 sensor 2 ordered....

would it be logical to expect bank 2 sensor 2 to be near done as well? thinking I should replace both sensors after cat at same time. I cant see how they wouldnt both be worn.

bank 2 sensor 2 = 234-4261 I will probably order that one also.

edit...I went ahead and ordered the left side sensor 2 so both will be new. im already going to be there..might as well.

finally installed them both and lights went away. must say it was easier than changing the oil to do both sensors.
