Ok I have the error that points to the upstream air sensor. I am on my 4th one in 2 weeks. The reset lasts less than 4 miles before the check engine light comes back on. I have gone to a couple of the local big box parts stores in Clemmons, and they have been less than no help I have reset the obc2 by unhooking the battery, and I have done the odometer reset trick as well. The sensor is good, so what is the actual issue that is causing the error.
Thanks

What's the exact error code (or codes) you're getting? The codes are pretty specific, "points to the upstream air sensor" is very generic - you could mean the MAF sensor, or the air pressure sensor, or the air temp sensor, or the O2 sensor.

Ok, thanks for responding. I am using an Actron CP9125 ( A very limited P.O.S. IMHO) It tells me that there are 2 codes, but will only show me the first one which is a 2238 code which translates to { Oxygen Sensor Pumping Current Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 1} I can not get the 2nd code to come up, only this one.
When I clear this code, my Rav4 accelerates in a choppy manner. It seems to have about a 200 rpm fluctuation at idle. However, once the code comes back (only after I stop then restart, like say going into a store to get a drink or something. ) the choppiness disappears, and the idle steadies out to a steady 800 rpm.

Googling "toyota P2238 rav4":
Possible causes
- Faulty Air/Fuel Sensor Bank 1
- Air/Fuel Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
- Air/Fuel Sensor Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection

Since you've already replaced the sensor, you'll need to check the wiring back to the ECU.

There's also a TSB for 2004s. It doesn't mention 2005s, but perhaps if your's is an early one...
