- 2012 explorer limited
2012 v6 Explorer Limited. Car was at mechanic for new waterpump and timing chain. No issues with the timing chain we just replaced it as mileage is at 320k.
After I got it back the CEL light was on. FOund my OBD11 reader and the code for bank2 sensor 1 was there. CHecked the sensor and the mechanic had forgot to re-attatch the wiring harness. I did that then cleared the code. Restarted the vehicle and light stayed off. Just took it for a run as the wife is going on a trip.
Car ran rough on acceleration and CEL was flashing. Freaked me out as I have never seen that before. After a couple of miles it quit and light stayed off. Also the car ran so much better! Was wondering if it was the computer re-adjusting? I have heard in this forum of the system learning my driving habits. Since the o2 sensor was disconnected for about 1 month, I was hoping this might be the case.
Any ideas would be grateful as my wife leaves on a 10 hr drive tomorrow and I am a bit worried.
