Joe, Thanks so much! The last 30 seconds of this video saved me an
afternoon of crawling under the car replacing the wrong part…I too had a
OBD2 code on my 96 Camry V6 that indicated that the downstream O2 sensor
was faulty, but I also knew I had a leaky exhaust. I fixed the exhaust and
reset the code, and after many driving cycles, the O2 code has not
returned.

How many O2 sensors does have a 97 Camry V6?

Thank you for your video. I just fix the downstream oxygen sensor Toyota
Camry 1999 without take the passenger seat out.
One thing a little bit different is I used a wrench and put connecter go
through the wrench. For easy to loose the oxygen sensor I run the car a
couple minutes making the pipe warm.

Thank you so so much for taking the time to record this and share. You
rule!

Mark Converse says:

you forgot to put compound on the threads of the new sensor before
installing so you wont have to “bust a nut” to get it off next time..

Hello Rick, Thanks for the comments. I definitely always try PB Blaster
before the torch (as shown in the video at 3:01). Thanks for the
encouraging feedback.

Rick Smith says:

Hey Joe. I noticed most people assume you have to tear off the seat in
order to get to the downstream sensor and this is not the best way to get
to that sensor. Note for an I4 it is under the driver seat also (Haynes
repair Manual says to go for the passenger). Before the torch maybe next
time some PB blaster? What you think. Joe you make excellent videos and
maybe we can see some more in the future.

Thanks for the video. Denso is the OEM for the sensor, I guess you could
have just cut the cables initially to make things easier.
