I have a 2000 Max that's throwing a code PO153 which is "rear bank, 1st sensor". I take it there are mulitple O2 sensors on this car. Which one is "rear bank, 1st sensor"?

Could somebody describe this to me so I make sure that I replace the correct one? I'm assuming I can "just" take out the old one and screw in the new one as long as I'm careful getting the old one out?


Any assistance for this maxima-newbie would be appreciated!

Thanks!

 

I'm pretty sure O2 sensors are plug and play...

See page 5 in this TSB for sensor locations:

"plug and play" meaning they're all the same and they interchange?

 

Not sure about that since they have different part numbers... just get the part number of the busted one and replace it with the exact same part... "plug n play" as you pull out the old one and replace it with a new one...

 

Do I need to have anything reprogramed once I replace the correct O2 sensor?
