buy the part from Nissan, have your own mechanic install it (of yourself for that matter) and save some money

Buy it from DaveB, which is, essentially Nissan. Try your best to get it done under warranty, but it might more hassle than what it's worth. It's very rare to have Nissan replace O2sensors under warranty.

hey man i had the same code. nissan replaced my o2 under the 80k emmissions warrenty. so dont waste your time ordering stuff, when it might already be covered. call your dealer and find out. btw, i had 75k miles when i had it replaced by the dealer.

yeah no problem. i did the same thing as you. i ordered the o2 then i come to find out that it was covered. then i had to pay to have it shipped back to daveb. so if your dealer is looking out for their customers, they will gladly cover it. i got my car reporgrammed as well with the new o2. plus your car has almost 50k which will work to your benefit due to lower miles on that perticular year of vehicle.

My bank 2 sensor 2 O2 sensor just went today. The girl at autozone, whom actually seemed to have a decent amount of automotive knowledge in general, mentioned cleaning the 02 by spraying it with compressed air, then starting fluid, then drying with compressed air. Sounds feasible. Anyone ever try this? Also, is there any specific brand of sensor that may be better, or just OEM? Is daveB just someones username on here? Thanks for the input.

Sounds like a band aid. I used to do sorta the same with spark plugs for a non Nissan vehicle. BTW, it's O2, not 02.

labor is expensive cause its a pain to do.
you can replace both if you want...but dave recommended i only do the one. i did it about 8 months ago and havent had a problem.

FYI, it will look like this (the "white" refers to the wire cover not the harness)

I had the same two codes (P1147 and P0139) almost two years ago. I replaced the ONE sensor as per the error code, had the ECU reprogrammed, and have not had a problem since.

The theory that I have read behind the TSB replacing both sensors is that the ECU parameters "could be" causing the problem with the O2s. So the dealership reprograms the ECU and gives you two new sensors rather than replacing just one sensor and having the other one fail later.

The ECU reprogram should be covered to 80K miles. Some have been able to get the O2 sensors covered under this same warranty based on the premise above, however, O2 sensors are typically only covered under the standard warranty. I was not able to get my dealership to cover ANYTHING under the 80K warranty and it was not worth my time to fight with them.

Replacing the O2 sensor is a PITA but it is not difficult. I am not a mechanical wizard by any stretch and I was able to do it. If you buy the sensor from DaveB, it will have all the replacement clips which, IMO, is a very good thing. I found the existing clips to be practically IMPOSSIBLE to remove without breaking them.

Good luck.

I'm not too sure about that as I have the same question myself. My SES light was on for about 4 days for an ignition coil problem but it just turned off and has been off for 2 days

Yes, keep the O2 handy. It will be back, I guarantee it. Might be tomorrow, might be in a week, might be a few months..........but it will return.

I replaced mine and the SES light came on 160 or so miles later. Removed the code with a code reader and 10,000 miles later, it has yet to reappear.

Sadly, even if you replace it, the light may come on and not go out until you also replace the other O2. However, if you don't replace it, the light is sure to come on again.

Sensor 3 bank 2

Hey Guys sorry, but need to revive this thread. So i'm pulling a P1169 (Not sure exactly what this one means, but i have a feeling it's 02 sensor related) and P0167 (The PCM has determined that a malfunction exists in the heater circuit for oxygen sensor 3 in Bank 2). Looking at the image above i'm still unclear as to which 02 sensor is the one it's refering too? I plan on giving the sensor a clean before actually replacing it if it's reasonable to get too.
