[Help] 2010 chevy equinox o2 sensor.Hello all, My sister has the above mentioned vehicle and for the past couple of weeks its been throwing the CEL. Got my Snap On code reader out and it told me p0158 and p2273. First is O2 circuit high voltage bank 2, sensor 2. Second is O2 sensor signal stuck rich - bank 2, sensor 2. Now correct me if I'm wrong please but that's drivers side after the cat correct? Thanks! |

I'm not sure which side bank 2 is, but the sensor 2 is the downstream sensor.
Usually (as far as I remember), bank 2 is usually the side of the motor with the #2 cylinder.
I would check to make sure the sensor is plugged in all the way, and make sure the connection is clean. |

B2S2 will be toward the front of the vehicle, literally right below the engine oil filter. |

replace all the sensors..... upstream and both down stream sensors
Use only oem ac delco
Trust me the other sensors (originals) will fail soon right after . for me the front sensor failed and just shortly after the rear sensor failed as well.
good luck |

Bank 2 Sensor 2 is located behind (after) the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. I believe that vehicle has a single exhaust after the y-pipe which means there is only one converter, and only one after-cat sensor.
However, I would not simply replace that sensor, as oxygen sensors do NOT tend to fail "RICH". Most likely there is a wiring or connection issue, possibly something rubbing through a harness. You really need to have some diagnostic know-how to properly track this one down. If you just throw a new sensor at it, it will most likely not fix your problem.
And please do not follow the advice of anyone saying to replace all the sensors, as that is totally improper and a waste of money.

That's the reason why I was asking the location of it. Fortunately I have a Lab Scope, so once I get it out I'll test it. |

If you have the weather-pack probe set with it, you can check it in place which may be more useful. Also, is you SnapOn device just a reader or is it a scantool?

I take it back being SnapOn brand, I just bought it from the SnapOn guys that drive around every once in a while. This is the unit > » buy1.snapon.com/catalog/ ··· =catalog so its just a reader. TBH the BIL is insisting on replacing it even though I want to troubleshoot. I'm probably going to replace it and once the CEL comes back on, then he'll allow troubleshooting. Backwards but that's how he works. |

OK, well I know how that family stuff goes...
I was hoping you had a scantool, as you can see the sensor performance in real-time. In any case, look carefully at the wires leading to the sensor. It is also possible for the sensor to have failed internally causing the error, so you still may be the hero right away, but in most cases they fail to a lean code.
Hang in there.

If the OP had access to a different scanner, it could show the O2 sensor data in real time.
That's part of the reason why I said check the connections first. When my downstream O2 failed on my Jeep, it failed lean.
Also, same Jeep, but about six months earlier, I kept popping ECM fuses. Couldn't figure out why. I just happened to catch a code on the PCM for the downstream O2, and checked it out. The wiring was rubbing on the output shaft of the transfer case, and it rubbed through the insulation. DOH! Fixed the wiring and all was good.
Denso should be the OE manufacturer of the Chevy sensors.. IIRC... Just like NTK made the sensor for my Jeep. |

Thanks all for your input. I'll definitely let you know the outcome. Although I'm sure most of you can guess whats going to happen. I replaced it tonight and the connector looked fine but I still used some 3M Novec contact cleaner on the connector. I hope that type was okay, I've seen some greasers use it before so that's why I got it. |

Anonymous_, you still don't get it. The OEM senor is not AC Delco, not that AC Delco is not part of GM.
If you go to the dealer and buy a sensor it will probably be Denso. |

DENSO is a member of the Toyota Group of companies
why would you want to use toyota components on your GM
Plus if you go to the stealership you're going to get robbed by them voluntarily |

BOSCH and others..... but you will have to pay a extra mark up on it because they consider it a aftermarket item. not to mention you will have to wait since it's not instock item. |

My car only has 2 there for I did not get ripped off. $79 for 2 sensors including sales tax. dealer wanted $98 including tax for just 1 sensor Please explain how I got ripped off by buying both? yes my car had Denso sensor as you can see it welded it self shut (basically melted/warped shut) making it useless, basically a design flaw . that is why I do not recommend it see photo |
