1998 Explorer
The check engine light (CEL) has been coming on in my 1998 Explorer, 4.0 V6. Then after a few days it goes out. I checked the codes and it shows 0153. This comes back as O2 sensor circuit slow response (bank 2 sensor 1). After erasing the codes it comes back with the same thing a few days later. I know this model Explorer has three (3) O2 sensors. The problem is where are they located and which one is "Bank 2 Sensor 1"? Even my Chilton manual doesn't show where these sensor are located. I'd rather just replace the sensor that's going bad.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
 






Drivers side O2, before the cat on the exhaust y-pipe coming down from the motor. The sensor will be screwed into the pipe and have an electrical lead and plug that runs from the sensor to a connection by the tranny.
 






How in the world do you GET to the connector? Tightly packed between the engine and firewall.
